How do I find out these things for myself? Do you have to look through every API in the book to find out or what?

How do I find out these things for myself? Do you have to look through every API in the book to find out or what?
Here are two useful sites on api.
http://www.vbapi.com
http://www.allapi.net
Hope that helps.
also http://www.mvps.org/vbnet/
shows some functions that can be accomplished by certain apis
No you don't. But you should always narrow your specific needs down to something precise before going through the API's morass of endless functions.
Check out the makers site - microdoux ( french :D ) specifically MSDN.
The best solution to this is still sites like VB-WORLD where you can ask questions and usually get decent answers from guys like Gates and Megatron etc.
Thanks Hitgar.
AmmerBow: I believe the best site for learning API is MSDN (msdn.microsoft.com). Take a look at the Platform SDK, however, its documented in C++ but it shouldn't be much of a problem if you understand a little bit of it.
