DLL Entry Point

[FFrozTT]

I have a small project that works fine as an EXE. Now I want to make
it into a DLL. I've created a DllMain routine and set it as the entry
point (code below). Then from DllMain I try to initialize my main
routine called ThreadProc. I've tryed this several different ways and
can't get it to work. It compiles fine but when I go rundll32
mydll.dll nothing happenes (works in exe form.)

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HMODULE hModule, DWORD ul_reason_for_call,
LPVOID lpReserved)
{
if (ul_reason_for_call == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
{
HANDLE hThread = CreateThread(NULL,0,&ThreadProc,NULL,0,NULL);
CloseHandle(hThread);
}

return TRUE;
}

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Wrong group. Try a group with "windows" or "microsoft" in its name.

You will get an answer in microsoft.public.vc.language.

This is a Windows question, not a C++ question, unless
I'm missing something. Try posting this on a Windows
programming group like those in
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.*.
