finding out what apis something is using

can someone recommend a tool for finding out what api calls a program is using?

thanks

Well, I don't think that's possible to do, you mean let's say, check if notepad is using the SendMessage API to send a EM_SCROLL message?

I think there's no way to do that, but you can see what messages it's receiving, by Subclassing the window, but that's not what you want huh.

Sorry to dissapoint you mate.

But what exactely are you after? why do you want to know which api calls it's using?

Editing...

Actually there is a way to check it, whohee!!! :eek:

Download AnalogX's TextScan

In a program where I used the FindWindow and ShowWindow api I found this text in my program:

Code:

---

Offset  Type    Size    String
-------------------------------------
3920    Char    11      FindWindowA
3980    Char    10      ShowWindow

---

But you have to search the whole file for the API calls and know a lot of them, but it is possible.

I think it's also possible with a Hex Editor, Kedaman has one on his page.

Have fun!
