    <p>I've been hoping to play around with [this nifty C++ dll][1] in Matlab, since I've got some existing Matlab stuff that I think could benefit from this library's functionality. However, whenever I run this command to load the library:</p> <pre><code>loadlibrary('d3d9Callback.lib','d3d9Callback.h') </code></pre> <p>I get a nasty ammount of warnings regarding the existance of types used in the dll, and a crazy number of syntax errors, obviously stemming from the unknown types. Here's the start of the warnings/errors:</p> <pre><code> Warning: Warnings messages were produced while parsing. Check the functions you intend to use for correctness. Warning text can be viewed using: [notfound,warnings]=loadlibrary(...) &gt; In loadlibrary at 360 Error loading library intermediate output follows. The actual error is at the end of this output. ********* Type 'intCONSTDWORDPtr' was not found. Defaulting to type voidPtr.

I'm beginning to think the problem is that problem is that the dll draws heavily from the directx libraries and well as an additional dll from the same website. Perhaps Matlab doesn't know about them, and that's causing the 'type unknown' problems? Thats the only thing I can think of, but it doesn't make sense to me since the library being loaded has already been compiled into a dll.</p> <p>Anyways, I'm quite new to dealing with dlls, so my intuition might be way off. Any thoughts about why Matlab can't recognize the types and how I might go about fixing the problem?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
