DLL

[jtm7699]

I have a DLL. How can I find out what procedures are in it.

Use the Dependency Walker that comes with vb. (Start --> Programs --> Microsoft Visual Studio --> Microsoft Visual Studio Tools --> Dependency Walker)

[jtm7699]

the Dependancy Walker shows me what the DLL depends on.

I need to know that the DLL can do for me. I know that it can data from a program. I need to know that data and how to get it.

I know for some DLLs that are common there is a text file that can be read with the API text viewer. This has the functions, attributes that can be accessed and how to acccess them. How is that TXT file created

[oetje]

It's created by the creator of the dll. (Microsoft)

You can't use a DLL unless you have the exact function definitions for it, most likely from the original supplier. There is very little information that can actually be extracted from the DLL apart from the function names.

So unless the DLL creator builds the file or gives me the functions I am in the cold. That is to bad.

Thanks all
