Register a DLL via COM under Windows Mobile

On Windows XP, one can register a COM DLL by using regsvr32. On Windows CE, there is a similiar tool called regsvrce.exe.

The DLL must export the following function for registration to be successful:

STDAPI DllRegisterServer()
{
return AMovieDllRegisterServer2( TRUE );
}

STDAPI DllUnregisterServer()
{
return AMovieDllRegisterServer2( FALSE );
}

extern "C" BOOL WINAPI DllEntryPoint(HINSTANCE, ULONG, LPVOID);

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hModule,
DWORD dwReason,
LPVOID lpReserved)
{
return DllEntryPoint((HINSTANCE)(hModule), dwReason, lpReserved);
}

If the DLL is built in Visual Studio 2005, an export file (extension .DEF) needs to be created:

EXPORTS

DllMain PRIVATE

DllGetClassObject PRIVATE

DllCanUnloadNow PRIVATE

DllRegisterServer PRIVATE

DllUnregisterServer PRIVATE
