I've spent about 4 hours trying to get the Funduc DecExt.dll to Decode an "EML" type file without success. The test.eml file can be decoded ok using the Shell Extension that calls DecExt.dll.

Here is my code:
#F12::
result := DllCall("decext.dll", str, "I:\Send\test.eml")
if not result
{
MsgBox Errorlevel = %Errorlevel%
return
}
return

The MsgBox command executes and shows the following:
Errorlevel = -4

According to AutoHotKey Help, an ErrorLevel of -4 means
"The specified function could not be found inside the DLL"
Is there anyway to find out the name of the "Decode" function in the DLL file?

Although I'm not a newbie to AutoHotKey, I'm not an accomplished programmer either, and I'm not all that knowledgeable about DLL files.

Perhaps there is a way to get AutoHotKey to call the Shell Extension.
Does anyone know how to go about doing that?

If anyone knows where I'm going wrong or knows a different way to get AutoHotKey to Call the Decode function in the Funduc DecExt.dll file, I would be very appreciative.

Thanks,
Larry

Thanks for the input majkinetor. I'm not a programmer and clueless about how to use the information you provided though. I will see what I can find out about "COM" (whatever it is), and see if I can figure out how to use it to accomplish the desired task. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge....

If you are not programmer, I suggest you stop ASAP.
COM is hard even to programmers and in AHK it has special aroma

Try to find some normal dll, instead.
