Functions

AddDllDirectory Adds a directory to the process DLL search path.
DisableThreadLibraryCalls Disables the DLL_THREAD_ATTACH and DLL_THREAD_DETACH notifications for the specified dynamic-link library (DLL).
EnumResourceLanguagesExA Enumerates language-specific resources, of the specified type and name, associated with a specified binary module. Extends EnumResourceLanguages by allowing more control over the enumeration. (ANSI)
EnumResourceLanguagesExW Enumerates language-specific resources, of the specified type and name, associated with a specified binary module. Extends EnumResourceLanguages by allowing more control over the enumeration. (Unicode)
EnumResourceNamesA Enumerates resources of a specified type within a binary module. (ANSI)
EnumResourceNamesExA Enumerates resources of a specified type that are associated with a specified binary module. The search can include both an LN file and its associated .mui files, or it can be limited in several ways. (ANSI)
EnumResourceNamesExW Enumerates resources of a specified type that are associated with a specified binary module. The search can include both an LN file and its associated .mui files, or it can be limited in several ways. (Unicode)
EnumResourceNamesW Enumerates resources of a specified type within a binary module. (Unicode)
EnumResourceTypesExA Enumerates resource types associated with a specified binary module. (ANSI)
EnumResourceTypesExW Enumerates resource types associated with a specified binary module. (Unicode)
FindResourceExW Determines the location of the resource with the specified type, name, and language in the specified module. (FindResourceExW)
FindResourceW Determines the location of a resource with the specified type and name in the specified module. (FindResourceW)
FindStringOrdinal Locates a Unicode string (wide characters) in another Unicode string for a non-linguistic comparison.
FreeLibrary Frees the loaded dynamic-link library (DLL) module and, if necessary, decrements its reference count.
FreeLibraryAndExitThread Decrements the reference count of a loaded dynamic-link library (DLL) by one, then calls ExitThread to terminate the calling thread.
FreeResource Decrements (decreases by one) the reference count of a loaded resource. When the reference count reaches zero, the memory occupied by the resource is freed.
GetModuleFileNameA Retrieves the fully qualified path for the file that contains the specified module. The module must have been loaded by the current process. (ANSI)
GetModuleFileNameW Retrieves the fully qualified path for the file that contains the specified module. The module must have been loaded by the current process. (Unicode)
GetModuleHandleA Retrieves a module handle for the specified module. The module must have been loaded by the calling process. (ANSI)
GetModuleHandleExA Retrieves a module handle for the specified module and increments the module's reference count unless GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_UNCHANGED_REFCOUNT is specified. The module must have been loaded by the calling process. (ANSI)
GetModuleHandleExW Retrieves a module handle for the specified module and increments the module's reference count unless GET_MODULE_HANDLE_EX_FLAG_UNCHANGED_REFCOUNT is specified. The module must have been loaded by the calling process. (Unicode)
GetModuleHandleW Retrieves a module handle for the specified module. The module must have been loaded by the calling process. (Unicode)
GetProcAddress Retrieves the address of an exported function or variable from the specified dynamic-link library (DLL).
LoadLibraryA Loads the specified module into the address space of the calling process. (LoadLibraryA)
LoadLibraryExA Loads the specified module into the address space of the calling process. (LoadLibraryExA)
LoadLibraryExW Loads the specified module into the address space of the calling process. (LoadLibraryExW)
LoadLibraryW Loads the specified module into the address space of the calling process. (LoadLibraryW)
LoadResource Retrieves a handle that can be used to obtain a pointer to the first byte of the specified resource in memory.
LockResource Retrieves a pointer to the specified resource in memory.
RemoveDllDirectory Removes a directory that was added to the process DLL search path by using AddDllDirectory.
SetDefaultDllDirectories Specifies a default set of directories to search when the calling process loads a DLL. This search path is used when LoadLibraryEx is called with no LOAD_LIBRARY_SEARCH flags.
SizeofResource Retrieves the size, in bytes, of the specified resource.

ENUMRESNAMEPROCA An application-defined callback function used with the EnumResourceNames and EnumResourceNamesEx functions. (ANSI)
ENUMRESNAMEPROCW An application-defined callback function used with the EnumResourceNames and EnumResourceNamesEx functions. (Unicode)
ENUMRESTYPEPROCA An application-defined callback function used with the EnumResourceTypes and EnumResourceTypesEx functions. (ANSI)
ENUMRESTYPEPROCW An application-defined callback function used with the EnumResourceTypes and EnumResourceTypesEx functions. (Unicode)
