Error in setting a CALLBACK function in a simple Delphi code

iDebD asked:

Open original thread
Hi, I want to set up a CALLBACK function in a delphi code so that from a C++ dll I can call it; As of now I wrote following code:

Delphi
program Project1;

{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

uses
  Windows;
var
    fnSomeDllMethod:procedure() cdecl;
    m_hDll: HMODULE;
type
TCALLBACKPROC = function(arg:Pointer):HRESULT stdcall;
type
TSetCallbackFunc = procedure(_proc:TCALLBACKPROC) cdecl;

var
fnSetCallback:TSetCallbackFunc;

function CallbackProc(wEvent:DWORD;arg:Pointer;pParam:Pointer):HRESULT stdcall;
begin
         MessageBoxA(0,'delphi', 'delphi',MB_OK);
end;

begin
  { TODO -oUser -cConsole Main : Insert code here }

  begin
      begin
        m_hDll := LoadLibrary('DLLMsgBox.dll');
        fnSetCallback := GetProcAddress(m_hDll,'DisplayInMessageBox');
        fnSetCallback(CallbackProc);
        FreeLibrary(m_hDll);
      end;
  end;

end.


It is giving error as :[Error] Project1.dpr(30): Incompatible types: 'Pointer' and 'Cardinal'

Can any one help me?

Thanks

When answering a question please:
  1. Read the question carefully.
  2. Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar.
  3. If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or edit the question and fix the problem. Insults are not welcome.
  4. Don't tell someone to read the manual. Chances are they have and don't get it. Provide an answer or move on to the next question.
