I'm pretty sure you can use Interop.GetCallbackPtr inside the DLL to get the address of a jscript function (as long as you know the function name and the number of parameters). Then, cast the return value into an appropriate C++ function pointer then you should be able to call the function.
afaik, unfortunatly not. That address can only be used for synchronous callbacks, not asynchronous calls. So getting an address might be possible, but it might not be valid anymore at any time.

That is, dunno exactly how the rules go when you use it from inside your DLL though (using your method), but I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing applies for that DLL.

Continuing to play around with communicating the other way via some callback objects... not sure if this is dodgy, my code is probably horrible because I've never done anything like this before but it seems to work ok :P

This example script just creates an object with a function named "testing". The object is then passed to the dll which invokes the testing method with 2 string parameters.
omg... that can't be working... that was waaaaay too easy and too little code :p:D

/me pulls up a barrier so Patchou can't come in spoiling the fun by saying there is a catch
