Creating a SilverPlus Application

 

This topic will take you through the creation of a simple  SilverPlus application. In essence a SilverPlus application is an MFC or Win32 DLL with an agreed-upon entry point that receives a pointer to the SilverScreen API function table.

 

This topic also provides an overview of the DLL loading process and notes on commonly encountered calling conventions.

 

 

The following table lists the steps (in order) that you must take to write a SilverPlus application:

 

Step

Description

Making the entry point work

Modify the SilverPlus framework so that your SilverPlus application performs work.

Creating a SilverPlus stub

Create a SilverC program that will be used to load, invoke, and unload your SilverPlus DLL
