API in delphi

how do you use API in delphi?
I know how to use the MessageBox API(its part of the Application Object), but I can't figure out how to use others(like, GetAsyncKeyState)

Thanks,
Dennis.

You are in a VB forum not Delphi! You are not likely to get many usefull replies in here.

I HATE DELPHI!
AHHHHHHH!

Anyway - Gfrench is right - This is a vbforum. Post it in the "other programming languages" forum if you have to, but please - for my sanity - STOP USING DELPHI!

Technically I posted this in an API forum, and API can be used in delphi, but I dont know how.....
and what other programming languages forum??
there is one for C/C++, web programming, java, VB, but no delphi... or "Misc"

Most of the API's are already available thru the sysutils unit.

I agree, find another board, this is VB, and not many ppl here know Delphi (or don't want to answer).

Listen - I'm sorry - I've just hate Delphi
I started learning it, but it's so complicated - just to display a form you need to modify lines of code and it's just annoying.

dear Xenonic_Rob,

you obviously did not understand Delphi - go back and try
again - this time read the instructions. :eek: (no offense)

Yeah. Delphi is basically VB, but with a different underlying language. The apps run slightly faster too.

yeah, VB is visual Basic Delphi is Visual Pascal,
and delphi is Runtime Free.

Yeah, I know, I don't understand Delphi. It's probably because I tried it a few years ago with a really old version. I'm sure it's great, it's just not for everyone :)
