What exactly is the "API Viewer"? Is it something in vb itself that i have totally missed or is it a program? If it is a program, could someone email it to me([email protected]). Thanks.

It Should come with VB.
Go to the AddIns menu and select the add in manager you will be greeted with a whole host of usefull wizards etc
Get the API viewer and it will put it in the add ins menu open it I can't rememper exactly how you set it up but the file you want is called winapi.txt and it somewhere in VB/Tools?Common/API I think probably depends on your machine. It's probably THE most usefull tool for using the API.
do as finch said, then when you click on the api veiwer in the add-ins menu it will probably be empty. go to File, then to Load Text File on the menu.Choose Win32api.txt from the open dialog. Once it loads you can dblclick on a declaration and have it loaded into the bottom text box. From there you can copy it into your project.
thanks a lot. i can't believe that i've been overlooking that for so long. that could have saved me a ton of time. anyway, thanks again.

But The Learning Edition Of VB Doesnt Come With The WinAPI viewer, could anybody please email me the prog

I guess apiviewer isn't the best app made, i usually open Win32api.txt in wordpad, since you cannot search for the things you want correctly, and the listbox is too small. Also i don't like to change between declarations types and constants all time.
It seems harder to do in Wordpad. The App makes it easier for me.
