follow the library(.dll) calls of an application ... [modified]

Hello, i'm using a piece of software in work which provides a scripting interface however there is little reference material regarding the scripting language and a lot of the software's functionallity cannot be accesed through the scripting language. It is however possible for me to complile dll plugins and use their methods from the scripting langauge. Therefore I'm thinking of 'hacking-out' functionality from the application. I would like to know if it is possible to trace the calls made by the application to the .dlls which hold all the functionality. i'm imagining a situation where I'm able to 1 - start the application 2 - Attach some kind of debugger-thing to it 3 - press a button in the application 4 - trace the method calls made by the application and follow the data flow I guess if this is possible it won't be as easy as outlined above but I'd just like to know if there is anything that would help me along in my quest. For Example: Does anyone have a freeware .dll inspector (does VS have one?) that will show all exported functions? Thanks EDIT: This looks like a good free .dll viewer: http://www.download3000.com/download-DLL_Export_Viewer-count-reg-8884.html[^]
