How to use a PBD in a PowerBuilder Library

Question

I have a PBD file that I want to use in a PowerBuilder Library. I'm not really certain how to accomplish this. I've added the PBD to the library list and the application will run. However, when the method is called, it throws a bad runtime function reference.

I'm using PowerBuilder Classic 12.0 Build 5530 and trying to use the PbniRegex Extension.

Which version of PowerBuilder are you using? That might be useful for us to know. — Bernard, Jun 01 '12 at 17:35
@somnath: What is not possible? Of course you can add a PBD to a target, you only won't be able to see any source code, but you can call objets that are provided. — Seki, Jun 04 '12 at 08:36
Thanks for the info @Seki. It has been many years I used PB and this info clearly then has left my brain's KB! :) — somnath, Jun 04 '12 at 18:21

Did you put the pbniregex.pbx with the corresponding .pbd with the files of the project? The .pbxis actually a dll and the .pbd is only a wrapper to declare its methods to PB.
