DLL function by ordinal

[George2]

Hello everyone,


Just confused about DLL function by ordinal concept. Ordinal should be on the other part of by name.

But to use DLL function by ordinal technique, we need,

1. Write a .DEF file and write down function ordinal (index);
2. Use LoadLibrary and GerProcAddress to get the function pointer than use the function.

In (2), we still need to use function name as input parameter to GetProcAddress. So, my question is, DLL function by ordinal technique is not pure by ordinal, still need function name information?


thanks in advance,
George

Read documentation carefully

lpProcName
[in] Pointer to a null-terminated string containing the function or variable name, or the function's ordinal value. If this parameter is an ordinal value, it must be in the low-order word; the high-order word must be zero.
