Those pointers are addresses in your <em>main<\/em> process; they are not valid in the target process. You should store those values in fixed-size arrays in your record, just like you&#8217;re already doing with the module and function names. Then initialize the pointer fields inside the remote function.<\/p>\n<p>But you&#8217;re really making it more complicated than it needs to be. You don&#8217;t need to use <code>GetProcAddress<\/code> in the remote function at all. Put you <em>entire function<\/em> in a DLL. There you can call whatever functions you want, and the Delphi linker and the OS loader will ensure that they&#8217;re all available to call at run time. You also don&#8217;t need to allocate all your variables with <code>VirtualAllocEx<\/code>; you can use ordinary local variables in your DLL function.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll use <code>CreateRemoteThread<\/code> three times over the course of your program. The first time is to inject a call to <code>LoadLibrary<\/code> to get your DLL into the target process&#8217;s address space. The second time is to invoke your injected function, and the third time is to call <code>FreeLibrary<\/code> after you&#8217;re finished. The tricky part is finding the address of your injected function in the target process. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.codeproject.com\/Articles\/90271\/Remote-threads-basics-Part-2.aspx\">Alexey Kurakin&#8217;s article on Code Project<\/a> demonstrates how to do that by finding the <em>relative<\/em> address of the function in your own process, and the applying that offset to the remote process to determine the argument to pass to your second call to <code>CreateRemoteThread<\/code>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there&#8217;s no need to declare the support records for <code>ShFileOperation<\/code> yourself. Delphi already declares them for you in the <em>ShellAPI<\/em> unit. There you&#8217;ll also find the named constants for the various flags you need, like <code>fo_Copy<\/code> instead of <code>$0002<\/code>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"mt24\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <span class=\"d-none\" itemprop=\"commentCount\">9<\/span> <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<\/p>\n<p>solved In a remote thread, how do I call functions whose parameters contain pointers?
