How can I use LoadLibrary to get the address of a function defined in fileapi.h?

Question

I want to know the name of the DLL/LIB in which functions declared in fileapi.h are kept.

So that I can use LoadLibrary(dllname) (if it is inside DLL).

Answer 1

The fileapi.h header documentation lists the functions, and their individual documentations all say the same thing - the functions are implemented in kernel32.dll . Which you don't need to use LoadLibrary() for, you can use GetModuleHandle() instead, since kernel32.dll is loaded by default in all processes.

To get the address of a function in a loaded DLL module, you need to use GetProcAddress() , giving it an HMODULE from LoadLibrary/Ex() or GetModuleHandle() .
