Sensitivity

Ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.

But I must know...

Declare Function findwindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

You don't have to have the api function case sensitive, right?

Meaning, I could have it like:

Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

'or

Declare Function findWindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

'or

Declare Function Findwindow Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

'or anything else like..

Declare Function FiNdWiNdoW Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long

So i dont think it matters..... i done code with the "A" at the end of the api call... So idoubt case matters at all.

Do what you want with case as long as the spelling and punctation is correct.

I think it does matter, I've just tried Sleep and sleep and sleep didn't work, no entry point found, so VB was look for a exact match in the DLL.

Public Declare Function fInDWinDOw Lib "user32.dll" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As Any, _
ByVal lpWindowName As Any) As Long

Runs..but don't mess with the Alias "FindWindowA"
that one is case sensetive.

Actually, Matt, You can AS LONG AS YOU ALIAS THE REAL NAME, IN THE CORRECT CASE, in your Declare.

You could even change it to this this (but what's the point)?

Private Declare Function SeekBillGatesThingy Lib "user32" _
Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, ByVal _
lpWindowName As String) As Long
