It is easy to add Win32 API functions to VB. You need to find the declarations for the functions you want and add them your project. Look up "Accessing the Microsoft Windows API" in the help.

An excellent book on the subject is Dan Appleman's "Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API".

Hope this helps.
