void STDCALL ShowLastError(HWND)    

MessageBox(hWnd,"Nice text","Nic text too",MB_OK);

I'm considering writing a little tool that will build import libraries from a .txt file containing DLL-name and a list of exports, which would let you easily build import libraries for FASM .dll's.

It shouldn't be too hard a task, unfortunately I don't have much spare time at the moment :/

But why do you need to have the user to input a txt file with such info? Wouldn't it be better if the program could open a common dialog for getting files' paths or just inputing dll name from commandline?

and I'd need to know first how import .lib file is built.

Btw. How to call a procedure in C++ using a pointer returned by GetProcAddress ?

#include <stdio.h>

typedef int (*funcptr_t)(int,int,int);

int myfunc(int a, int b, int c)
{
        return a+b+c;
}

int main(void)
{
        funcptr_t func = &myfunc;
        printf("func(10,20,30): %d\n", func(10,20,30));
        return 0;
}
    

Creating Borland style MS COFF import libraries
Polib V3.00.1 can create import libraries directly from DLLs. With the /nound switch offered by Polib, it's possible to get import libraries with no underscored names making easy the linkage of Fasm and Sphinx C-- object files. This new version of Polib replaces my old tool dll2lib. ( Thanks Pelle )

cute

I'm still gonna do my tool anyway, as a nice excercise in multiple things.
(PS: does polib do it directly, or does it depend on an assembler or similar lameness?)

polib /nound /out:kernel32.lib \windows\system32\kernel32.dll
polib /nound /out:user32.lib \windows\system32\user32.dll
polib /nound /out:gdi32.lib \windows\system32\gdi32.dll
    

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN  
#include <windows.h>

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HINSTANCE hInstDLL, DWORD fdwReason, LPVOID lpvReserved)
{
       return TRUE;
}

void WINAPI Autotype(char* message)
{

    HWND hWnd=FindWindowEx(FindWindow("Notepad",0),0,"Edit",0);
        while (*message)
                        {
                                SendMessage(hWnd,WM_CHAR,(WPARAM)*message,0);
                                Sleep(200);
                                ++message;
                        }
}

Include to library file converter V1.1
Inc2lib converts a MASM include file to the associated import library. To create the libraries, the tool launches Pelle's linker Polib. The location of Polib should be defined via the environment variable PATH inc2lib accepts wildcards such *.inc The libraries can be used with COFF linkers MS link and Pelle's Polink

func1 takes one parameter
func2 takes two paramaters
func3 takes four parameters
func4 has no parameters
