[altctldel]

I want to know what is the datatype to be used to get a handle for window.

win32 api function have their own datatype.
eg. SC_HANDLE,LPCSTR,TChar
In general i want to know where or how can i get corresponding VB datatype and how to use that in VB coding in calling win32 api function.

Thanx in advance.

Window handles are returned As Long.

Visit

http://www.vbapi.com

for the details on most of the API functions useful in VB. Better yet, get a copy of Dan Appleman's Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API (currently out of print, I believe) or his Win32 API Puzzle Book and Tutorial for Visual Basic Programmers.

Window handles are long data types in Visual Basic.
Pointers to a string (LPSTR)- By Val string or variant; Char - By Val Byte. As far as a reference to corresponding datatypes for C and VB, I would consult any book on Win32API.
