i have this book and it is very good and if you are looking to purchase a vb book i would recommend this one highly
I have it because everyone says it is a "must-have" if you want to use API from VB.
It's good in that it means you can consult it rather than asking questions on here, but some bits are a bit heavy (for example the bit on screen reso i just skipped as soon as I saw it :D). There are pleanty of examples and a pretty good reference section. I think there is also an updated Win32api.txt on the CD (apparently there are many mistakes in the original one)
If you haven't already, check out the Review
.
It is pretty pricey though (US $60, UK £46.74)
You're right, there are a lot of mistakes in the supplied version :(
As I found out to my cost on many occasions, before I started using the API from C++ and actually worked out *** was going on :rolleyes:
I don't usually use books because there are plenty of websites with information and examples.
