Get the list of delay-load imported functions
The Delay Import table was added to the EXE image in order to support a uniform mechanism for applications to delay the loading of a DLL until the first call into that DLL. This is a better way for a loading a DLL which is rarely used. That is, the DLL is linked but not actually loaded, the operating system lets you put off loading a DLL and hooking up to its APIs until you actually call the API.
This feature does not exist in Windows 9x and prior versions of Windows NT.
LEFT PANE
RVA - Address of ASCII string containing the DLL name. This address is relative to the Image Base.
Name - Name of the DLL in which the imported functions reside.
RIGHT PANE
RVA - RVA of an array of of 32-bit numbers for PE32, 64-bit for PE32+. The collection of these entries describes all imports from the image to a given DLL.
Hint - Index into the Export Table of the DLL the function resides in.
Name - Function names.
Bound - Relative virtual address of the Bound Delay-Load Address Table, if it exists.
Unload - Relative virtual address of the unload delay-load address table, if it exists.
IMPORT PROPERTIES
Name Table - RVA of the string that must be matched to the public name in the DLL.
Time Date Stamp - Set to zero until bound; then this field is set to the 'TimeDateStamp' of the exporting DLL's 'FileHeader'.
Forwarder Chain - The 32-bit index of the first forwarder in the list of imported functions.
RVA - Address of ASCII string containing the DLL name. This address is relative to the Image Base.
Address Table - Relative virtual address of the Import Address Table.
