Sounds like you are trying to roll your own COM What language are you using? I am guessing C++ GetProcAddress will get the address from the name. Creating the function prototypes is more of an issue unless you have a limited set of interfaces. -----Original Message----- From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of SEAN FARROW Sent: 05 September 2005 12:04 To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] Calling functions at addresses Hi: I am working on something currently where due to various issues, I am using a database to store the names of functions that need to be called. I should say from the outset that therese function names also contain the arguments needed for he specific function calls. Is there any way as there was in assembly to call the function at the specific address in memory. So in this case; I load the function from the database in to a lpctstr variable an need to call the function at this address. is this accomplishable and if so what is the best way to go about it? Hope somebody can help.
