I assume that you are aware of DllMain for creating dll's in Windows
Programming.
Let me know that you have used the DllMain in the .c file(i.e.., the Windows
application .exe) or you have tried that in either Windows Static Library or
Windows dynamic Library option file types.
If you have used the other file types then the Wizard will give the optional
entry point and you can have your own implementation of whatever you want.
suppose to be a function with some parameters.
You may link this dll file to a .exe file and call the function you have
implemented to create a window (whatever) just calling the funtion you have
implemented it.
This is the case with static library. With dynamic library it is different.

thanks for the opportunity.
Let me know whether it helped you or not.
