unable to call a thread in dll file

Question

I am trying to create a dll which will create a thread when you load him for some reason the thread function is not doing anything.. :\\

this is my code:

dllthre

Answer 1

Instead of starting the thread from DllMain() export a function that would launch the thread instead:

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) void start_thread()
{
    DWORD DllThreadID;
    HANDLE DllThread; //thread's handle

    DllThread=CreateThread(NULL,0,ThreadProc,0,0,&DllThreadID);
    if (DllThread == NULL)
        MessageBox(NULL, L"Error", L"Error", MB_OK);
    else
        CloseHandle(DllThread);

}

After calling LoadLibrary() use GetProcAddress() to get access to the start_thread() function.

Hope this helps.
