Dear All,

There is a API text viewer, Which gives lot of API which can be used in VB. I am NOT able to use them. Will some one give me some idea how to use them? I mean, I can copy them to my code by how to get details about them. However I am able to use only one Messagebox function in my codes just by guessing. I need more info about using most of functions.

Thanks

Santulan

MSDN comes with the Platform SDK, which contains a reference of all SDK functions with descriptions of parameters and unfortunately almost without any samples.
If you don't know the SDK, it's probably better to start with a book like Dan Appleman's Win32-book.
