I have a question that you, or someone else may be able to answer. I
originally started in C, started goofing around with C++, Visual C++
and a few others. Visual C++ I went to school a bit for; but never
completed it. I sitll however have the books and stuff for it. C and
C++ from Borland I still have also. But, my question is though: How
do you find out exactly what functions are available in a DLL file?
The reason being for me asking this is, I asked about getting a copy
of Delphi 5 EE (Enterprise Edition) and didn't understand very much
about it. I did however learn a few thing, and a few more from a
program that I downloaded that allows you to obtain code snippets.
One of the code snippets I found was something along the lines of:
<< begin code >>
proceedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
winexec(PChar('rundll32.exe rnaui.dll,RnaDial '+Edit1.text),sw_show);
end;
Those four lines of code that are mentioned (for any one who does not
understand this) calls upon Dial-Up Networking, the PPP (internet)
dialer; whatever you wish to call it. The thing I am asking, is this:
Since (` RNAUI.DLL ') is the DLL that contains (` RNADIAL ') for the
Dial-Up Networking, how would I find other DLL files that do almost
the same thing, but not for Dial-Up Networking, say maybe to call
Internet Explorer, among others?
