WINDOWS API CONSTANTS

[TrueCode]

I am trying to incorporate more API calls in my app. But I am not get the constant values. For instance the ExitWindowsEx uses a constant EWX_POWEROFF, I can't get the value for it. I need to use it to shutdown a remote kiosk.

Where can I find an exhaustive list of all of the API constants being referred to my the MSDN site.

This site might help (Some of the API calls are only available to members),

But not the one you need:

Thanks Mike

But I am a just getting into programmer to see if I can earn a buck. I really can't afford to pay membership fees at this moment. I was hoping that I could have gotten a free listing somewhere. Thanks for the info.

Unfortunately I don't think there is a free list of all WIN32 API Constants. There are books, most likely a subscription to MSDN Universal or pay websites would give you what you need, but not free, so if you come back here with your questions, someone way already have the answer.

Really you don't need to be a News2News member to get access to the list of constants at

http://www.news2news.com/vfp/w32constants.php

There is a limitation, comparing to member access, you are able to get one constant at a time. For example, typing name of constant EWX_ returns a list of six constants. Only the first value will be displayed.

I compiled this list just by parsing .H files in Visual Studio installation. Did not take a long time to write FoxPro code for this.

Thanks I will install visual C++ and the Studio
