I even have a UnloadDll export and that doesn't help. I currently have Code: EXPORT UnloadDll(int i) { return 0; } Do I need to change/add anything so mIRC can properly unload it or is there a bug in mIRC, -or- the fact that _Windows_ refuses to unload it.

The UnloadDll() routine can return 0 to keep the DLL loaded, or 1 to allow it to be unloaded. Is your intention to force your dll to stay loaded even if a timeout occurs? If not, delete that function.

Code: //echo -a $dll(1) C:\program Files\ircmx\data\mircmxrl.dll //dll -u $dll(1) [mirc doesnt output a message] //echo -a $dll(1) C:\program Files\ircmx\data\mircmxrl.dll Still loaded Last edited by Mashu; 03/06/03 07:56 PM.
