Thread: DLL Redirect

I'm kinda new too dll programming. Is there a way to redirect a dll? For example when a program loads it, it will redirect to another dll.

So what you want to do, is to link another dll from the one that you're making?
You do this the same way you're linking your dll from the app:

HANDLE h1 = LoadLibrary("DllName");
if(h1)
LoadFunctionsFromDll(h1);

Well this program starts it loads all the dlls in it's plugin directory. I have many plugins some with the same name so I need some in another folder.

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but I had started a thread a while back because I needed to access dll's that were in a different folder. As it turns out LoadLibraryEx() will accomplish that task.

Example

Code:

HANDLE h = LoadLibraryEx(".\\plugins\\codec1.dll", NULL,
    LOAD_WITH_ALTERED_SEARCH_PATH);

You'd use FreeLibrary() to clean up when you are done.

[edit]
You may need a full path for the first parameter in LoadLibraryEx()
