Title: Dll function caller
Post by: Vortex on August 16, 2022, 05:28:27 AM

Here is a small tool to call functions exported by Dlls. To pass numerical arguments, use a leading @ symbol. The environment variable %ERRORLEVEL% stores the value returned by the function called with CallDllFunc.exe :

Usage :

Code: [Select]

CallDllFunc.exe dllfile.dll function params
A quick example :

Code: [Select]

Set MB_ICONEXCLAMATION=48

Set MessageBox=MessageBoxA

CallDllFunc.exe msvcrt.dll printf "This is %%s %%u" test @1

CallDllFunc.exe user32.dll %MessageBox% @0 "Message 1" Caption @%MB_ICONEXCLAMATION%

CallDllFunc.exe testdll.dll add @80 @20

CallDllFunc.exe msvcrt.dll printf " 80 + 20 = %%u" @%ERRORLEVEL%

@echo.

What would this be used for that is better than simply calling the exported function itself?

Hi swordfish,

CallDllFunc is more functional than the similar Windows component rundll32. My tool can be used for batch file programming.

Ah, ok. Since there was only a sparse description I was curious as to its usage. Thank you Vortex.

Useful tool for those, who don't want use vbs.
MessageBox with buttons can used to make choices.
