Re: question about DLL

You cannot read the source code of a DLL but you may find utilities on the NET which may tell you about the function exported by a DLL. Exported functions are functions which can be called externally from another DLL or applicaton.

One tool is windows disassembler. I am studying in university and am not at home. If I happen to visit my home, I would tell you about that software as my computer is there.

Re: question about DLL

To see which functions are exported, you may use dependency walker available in visual studio 6.0 ( depends.exe ), or windows tool quick if is installed.


to load and use functons exportded by a dll you should declare these functiuons
in vb . See follow link :
