Im trying to make a dll to inject to a program that will draw a bitmap to the desktop that has info about the hack. All I know about dlls is that the entry point is
[code]BOOL WINAPI DllMain[code]

thats all I know can anyone tell me what goes in the dll main method and how I put a update method into a dll?[/code]

If you are asking basics like this, you need to do more research and work before you should even be touching DLLs. You are basically asking for the entire thing to be coded for you.

Ok I researched and I found out how to make a dll
my dll consists of
the dllmain method and all the
dllprocessattached cases and stuff

I added a while loop in the dllprocessattached case but the while loop doesnt work should I put it in another one or what?

MSDN says you should actually not create a thread from within dllmain. What I do is inject a dll which exports an init function then call createremotethread from the injector

i just would avoid it given that there is a perfectly viable alternative which i stated above

Ok lol sorry for not listening to anyone about the threads I just made my own, this is my code
[CODE]
#include "main.h"

HANDLE thread;

int Thread() {
while (1) {
ofstream file;
file.open("test.txt");
file << "worked";
file.close();
Sleep(1);
}
return 0;
}

BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(__in HMODULE hModule, __in DWORD dwReason, __in LPVOID lpReserve) {
if(dwReason == DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH) {
DisableThreadLibraryCalls(hModule);
thread = CreateThread(0, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)Thread, NULL, 0, NULL);
}
return true;
}
[/CODE]

The code works it does write to test.txt so im really happy thanks
I am trying to now make a menu. This is a question about hooks like keyboard hooks and mouse hooks.

Keyboard and mouse hooks intercepts the input coming from the window and reads them then stops them or sends them back to the window.
Example:
press 1 key->| window gets input
V ^
My program intercepts and reads|

what if the window doesnt use keyboard input like Diablo 2 the game im trying to make a menu for. Diablo 2 uses no keyboard input so would a keyboard hook not work?

Which would be the point of them making their own injector vs. using a premade one.
