How could I retrieve the windows or windows system directory by calling their API functions and those functions return numeric(long) number instead of string???????
I suggest that you get tha AllApi tool from http://www.allapi.net,Code:Private Declare Function GetSystemDirectory Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetSystemDirectoryA" (ByVal lpBuffer As String, ByVal nSize As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
'KPD-Team 1998
'URL: http://www.allapi.net/
'E-Mail: [email protected]
Dim sSave As String, Ret As Long
'Create a buffer
sSave = Space(255)
'Get the system directory
Ret = GetSystemDirectory(sSave, 255)
'Remove all unnecessary chr$(0)'s
sSave = Left$(sSave, Ret)
'Show the windows directory
MsgBox "Windows System directory: " + sSave
End Sub
it covers all api calls.
