Can I call my own DLL with api call ?

Is it possible to call your own user created DLL using an API call ?

If you made the dll in c or c++ then vb can access it with the Declare statement. If the dll was made using vb, you'll have to refrence it and creat an object. This is called ActiveX. ActiveX has several advantages to a regular dll. First string can be passed to the parent app without the parent app needing to sut up a buffer. Next you can easily set up event procedures. It's rather like an ocx that's invisible at runtime.
