extern "C" short WINAPI VCGetSymbolInternalName(short* iError, char* pFileName, char* pReturn);

function VCGetSymbolInternalName(var iError: Smallint; pFileName: PAnsiChar; pReturn: PAnsiChar):Smallint; stdcall;

Function GetSymbolInternalName(ByVal pFileName As String) As String

pFileName - the filename of the desired symbol.
pReturn - the returned internal symbol name.
Returns - the number of characters in pReturn.

The file name for a symbol (.VCS) file and the symbol name used by VCADD are not required to be the same. Internal symbol names are limited to 32 characters plus a terminating NULL, but the file name is limited only by Windows file name restrictions. The internal name is stored in the symbol file and can be retrieved from the file with this function.
