MILCORE Functions

The table on this page lists all the functions that appear in the export directory of any known version of MILCORE.DLL. It gives for each function just brief summaries of the applicable MILCORE versions and of the function’s status with respect to Microsoft’s documentation (not that there is much to say on this point). Explanatory notes follow the table.

Notes

Names

Function names are reproduced from the export directory of the MILCORE executable. All exports from MILCORE are by name.

Versions

The MILCORE versions shown for each function are inferred from a study of known releases, making reasonable assumptions about likely continuity, especially to suppose that a function will exist in future versions or that a function exists in all (released) builds of a version if no counter-example is yet known.

As it happens, MILCORE exists only as version 6.0, for Windows Vista and the original Windows Server 2008. However, many of the exported functions survive into later Windows versions as exports from DWMCORE. These are indicated by the annotation “later in DWMCORE”.

Documentation Status

Except where otherwise stated, the reference version for Microsoft’s documentation is the January 2007 edition of the Windows Vista Software Development Kit, as distributed by Microsoft on MSDN disc 3667. That a function is not marked above as “documented” (or is marked elsewhere as “undocumented”) does not mean for certain that Microsoft does not document it, just that I haven’t yet found where.
