API FUNCTIONS IN VB

[PoLaK]

I am pretty good at visual basic programming but i want to learn to use API functions in my programs and was wondering if anyone knew of a site or text file that i could learn to use API functions from or whether anyone knows of any other method of learning API functions from...

your help is greatly appreciated

PoLak,
For API reference, you have got to check out:

http://www.vbapi.com/ref/funca.html

It is the best refernce site I have seen

and there's a few links to do with the API here:

Hope this helps

One other good source I know of is a book by Dan Appleman. It is called "The Visual Basic Programmers Guide to the WIN 32 API".

Hope This Helps,

Hi Polak & Co

I agree with Martyl's suggestion of the book by Dan Appleman. It's worth looking at if you want to know how to use API's with VB.

Also look at Planet-source-code.com - an awesome site to learn from!
