It cannot automatically load any other DLLs you've given on the

You can use EnumProcessModules() to get a list of all DLLs currently loaded into a process, but this will include any dynamically loaded ones (which may, or may not, be desirable depending on what the host app is doing...)

Even then, some might not be loaded yet. For example the open file dialog would more and more dlls at it's first run. But in general, yes - it might work.

But still what seems to be most practical (to me), is to call the function from the dll loaded, not ffi.C - e.g. user32.MessageBoxA instead of ffi.C.MessageBoxA
