I'm currious why you have to load the "richedit32.dll" library using "LoadLibrary" instead of importing it using the import macro

There also might be a justification if you want to display your own custom error message when the DLL is missing. And that's all.

The reason I ask is because I'm using the excellent apiresolve to create dll imports, it worked for riched20.dll, but crashed for riched32.dll. So I was wondering if this is some kind of com object or something?

Riched32.dll represents RichEdit 1.0 , the lowest functionality in the RichEdit family. It is present in 95, 98, ME, & NT and is emulated in 2000, xp, & Vista. If you look at all the Rich*.dll and *edit.dll files on a system, Riched32.dll is about 4k, while others are >400K. This may be why apiresolve does not work.

This may be why apiresolve does not work. yeh, your right, riched32.dll is only 3.5kb on my system, must be just a bunch of jump tables to riched20.dll (which is 423kb on my system). |

madmatt: not jump tables, but export forwarding, that's why your utility most probably failed.
