Hiew External Module

What all the buzz is about

Hiew External Module (HEM) is a DLL that is called from Hiew, uses Hiew functions and exchanges data with it.

How it works

Hem modules are not loaded until the key F11 is pressed in any of the modes (Text/Hex/Code). If you were brave enough to press the key F11 and engage Hem modules, Hiew will scan special folder and its subfolders for Hem files. For each found file Hiew loads it, looks for exported entry point, and uses it for invoking module initializer. Subsequent Hem menu invocations processed without directory scan.

HemLoad receives a pointer on function called HiewGate for back communication with Hiew, and a unique handle that module should pass for self-identification in each HiewGate call. HemLoad code is expected to keep these values for future use. It is also expected to fill a structure describing module. Structure contains things like module's text description, as well as flags specifying Hiew states module will be invoked in. Any Hem module can provide its functions for direct calls from other modules via its gate. After successfully passing load and initialization phases module is registered as valid.
