DllMain

 / Published in: C++

A Windows 32-bit DLL does not require any special functions. If you want to initialize your DLL when it is loaded, you can have a function called DllMain and do your initialization, but it is not required. Windows calls the DllMain function of a DLL in four instances:

* When a process attaches the DLL
* When a thread attaches the DLL
* When a process detaches the DLL
* When a thrad detaches the DLL

  1. BOOL WINAPI DllMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,DWORD fwdReason, LPVOID lpvReserved)
  2. {
  3. 	switch(fwdReason)
  4. 	{
  5. 		case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
  6. 			break;
  7. 		case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
  8. 			break;
  9. 		case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
  10. 			break;
  11. 		case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
  12. 			break;
  13. 	}
  14. 	return(TRUE);	// The initialization was successful, a FALSE will abort
  15. 			// the DLL attach
  16. }
