Hi All,

I've made some fixes to the PDF and added a bit more structures....sorry if it took long but I wanted to make sure and prove some of the 0/-1 fields were always like that (That took time/reversing).

http://www.relsoft.net/Articles/VB/vb.pdf

Thanks a lot to Alfa for some useful comments he gave.

That's really coming along nicely, Alex!

The structures on this site, and Alex's new layouts, have been very useful for me -

Although my dll's already do all I want, which is simply to self-instance automatically when loaded by a VB api-caller, I've been wanting to tidy the code up

The instancing code I got hold of isn't overly pretty, but was an excellent entry point - I got it working and moved on to other things .... until now I'd had no time to try to optimise it.

With all the goodies I see in these structures, refining it should be a doddle ...... in theory ...

All in all, it's been a good week .....

Keep up the good work Alexandru and Dr Memory, I'm looking forward to a better structure definitions.
Alex has been helping me so much with his compiler/runtime debugging/disassebling methods, else I couldn't be able to figure it all out alone

28/08. New update.

I've added more structs, which I hope alfa will add here and/or correct the old ones:P For more comments/details, he will add them as comments in the structures, since I sent them along to him as well.

Btw, alfa, lpPublicBytes is a pointer to a structure like this:
wStringBytes 0x0
wVarBytes 0x2

I'm pretty sure (didnt triple check) that if the procedure is public, then because it has a pointer, it's also part added to wVarBytes. That structure tells you how many pointers will be in memory at lpModulePublicData.

Also lpObjectList is a pointer to an array/structure like..
Public Type ObjectList
lpPrivateObjectDescriptor() as long
end type

I haven't put those in the PDF since it's self evident by the description but here they would be useful to be added by you.
