VBA/VB6 Syntax


Public Declare Function RNG_String Lib "diCrPKI.dll" Alias "RNG_Bytes" 
    (ByVal strData As String, ByVal nDataLen As Long, ByVal strSeed As String, 
    ByVal nSeedLen As Long) As Long

nRet = RNG_String(strData, nDataLen, strSeed, nSeedLen)

C/C++ Syntax


[Not applicable]

Parameters

szData: [out] to receive the random data.
nDataLen: [in] specifying the required length in bytes.
szSeed: [in] containing a user-specified seed to be used by the random number generator. Specify an empty string ("") to ignore.
nSeedLen: [in] specifying the length of the seed string.

Returns (VBA/C)

If successful, the return value is zero; otherwise it returns a nonzero error code.

Remarks

@deprecated. This is an alias for classic Visual Basic (VB6/VBA) users only. The output string may contain characters with value zero (and possibly traces of nuts). Storing binary information in a string is bad practice. This function was provided for one specific purpose and is deprecated. See Random Number Generator for more information on the RNG and seeds.
