Thread: Calling function from remote dll

Hi,

I have a program that displays a listview of items. I want to be able to grab these items from a seperate program.

I can't just SendMessage() because it requires passing LVITEM structs.

So, I thought maybe I could inject my own dll into the address space of the program that contains the listview and read it from in there and then pass the information back to my second program.

1. Is this possible?
2. if it is, how woudl you go about it? (i have already injected the dll)

I thought maybe I could write different functions inside the dll and query those functions from my second program(is that possible? if so, how?)

thanks for any help

Anyone?

You need to use the functions VirtualAllocEx, WriteProcessMemory and ReadProcessMemory.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Indeed, I stumbled upon this myself and have done what I needed to do.. but I must say, it's quite a hassle

I've only ever had to do some small IPC stuff that was easily accomplished with SendMessage() ..

Oh well,

Thanks again.
