How can I "extract" APIs from a DLL, is there any program for that or what? Maybe it's impossible???

Thanks

Guess we're the only people around on Christmas day huh ? Well happy Xmas for one.

It is possible to list the contents of a DLL using the standard 'Quick View' option that gets installed with Visual Studio. Although there is no way to see what parameters are required for each call (I think you can find out how many there are - but not their types or whether they are byval/ref). I remember seeing a very good example program on the CodeGuru MFC site that listed all function calls in a DLL by name if you're interested.
