forcable fail dll load?

[jassing]

From within a dll

during "attach process" -- under certain conditions, I want the dll to "fail to load" -- is there a way to do that?

EDIT:
it appears if I raise an error in AttachProcess() this causes the dll to not load...
Is this the best approach?

It might be enough just to return false in AttachProcess...at least that's how you'd do it in the native WinAPI DllMain function...

I thought that might be -- but a function w/o a specific "procedurereturn" does return 0/false

So by default, attachprocess procedure returns false.

You could try using DllMain instead of AttachProcess and DetachProcess.
It has a return value that indicates if it was successfull.

I use it for not give acces of my DLL if the key of the EXE is not good

Code: Select all

 !ADD esp, 8     ; remove Instance variable and return address from stack 
 !MOV eax, 0     ; set returnvalue to 0 
 !RET 12         ; return from DllEntryPoint

Thanks -- I was looking for a "proper way" -- but it seems there are many ways. Personally, I like the simple

Code: Select all

RaiseError(#ERROR_DLL_INIT_FAILED)

Error returned to calling program is meaningful...
