Title: DLL Browser? Something Like That?
Post by: Honduras 2811 on November 14, 2013, 12:37:38 AM
(I'm going to try to slide this by because the answer would be just as helpful to C programmers as to VB6 programmers.)

I got a pretty nice Freeware (I hope) application off the net yesterday that expands on the information that the Windows API viewer provides.

I started thinking how nice it would be if there was something like that for user DLLs, which are ordinarily poorly documented.

As I said before, my primary programming language is Visual Basic 6, (until I can become comfortable with C or Python.) and trying to use other people's DLL files with it can be a real adventure.

Does anyone know of a browser for DLLs, or if there is a standard file format I could parse to extract just the information I need?

For the few times I had a need to use this, not necessarily in connection with Pelle's C, I got what I needed with the "DLL Export Viewer" from NirSoft:

It's worth your time looking around on this guy's web site, he has a lot of other nifty little tools that come in handy in my line of daily work...
