A DLL can optionally specify an entry-point function. If present, the system calls the entry-point function whenever a process or thread loads or unloads the DLL. It can be used to perform simple initialization and cleanup tasks.

How do I change the entry point in Visual Studio?

Should I use WinMain or wWinMain?

The only difference between WinMain and wWinMain is the command line string and you should use wWinMain in Unicode applications (and all applications created these days should use Unicode). You can of course manually call GetCommandLineW() in WinMain and parse it yourself if you really want to.

What is the difference between main and WinMain?

WinMain() is Windows specific entry point to a Windows-based graphical application (you have windows stuff). main() is a standard C++ entry point (in Windows, it’s a console based application)… That said, you can use GUI stuff in console applications and allocate console in GUI applications.

What does a DLL injector do?

In computer programming, DLL injection is a technique used for running code within the address space of another process by forcing it to load a dynamic-link library. DLL injection is often used by external programs to influence the behavior of another program in a way its authors did not anticipate or intend.

Is DllMain required?

DllMain is not mandatory. If you have some initialization code required to run when loading the dll, you should create a DllMain function, and treat the initialization there. Otherwise it’s not required.

What is the max level in entry point?

The Free To Play level cap is 75.

What is Wmain?

wmain is an alternative that is used in many windows programs for unicode programs where it instead gets passed the command line as wide 16 bit unicode characters.

What does WinMain mean?

WinMain is the conventional name used for the application entry point.

Should I use WinMain?

use WinMain if you are building a GUI (=no console created for it at startup) application; main for a console application; DllMain for a dll.

Is DLL injection illegal?

Most, if not all, of the uses for DLL injections are malicious in nature and potentially illegal. To help combat the problem, Microsoft introduced the “protected process” in Windows Vista, which is nearly immune to these DLL injections.
