In order for your module to be used within WinGate it needs to export a set of mandatory functions.

For GUI modules

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int InitialiseGUI(HostAPI* pHost, HostModuleHandle hModule)

See InitialiseGUI

For Engine modules

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int Initialise(HostAPI* pHost, HostModuleHandle hModule, LPCWSTR szRegistryPath)

See Initialise

For all modules

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int ModuleGetAPIVersion()

ModuleGetAPIVersion should return the version of the API that your module was compiled with. WinGate will check that the version returned from ModuleGetAPIVersion is the same as its own internal version. If they differ, the module will not be loaded.

Typically the function looks like so:

extern "C" __declspec(dllexport) int ModuleGetAPIVersion()
{
	return COMPONENTS_API_VERSION;
}
