Re: Creating DLL Entry Point

I have a small project that works fine as an EXE. Now I want to make

and
can't get it to work. It compiles fine but when I go rundll32
mydll.dll nothing happenes (works in exe form.)
You pass incorrect parameters to rundll32. I suspect it fails before
even loading your DLL.
If you insist on using rundll32, see
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/164787
You need to implement and export a function with a particular signature,
and do all your work there. Creating a new thread is rather pointless -
rundll32 will unload the DLL and terminate as soon as your entry point
returns.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to
land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. -- RFC 1925
