    Unhappy

    Hi All;
    Some of the API functions are clearly from its name to understand but the problem is how could I know the related constants and types to it to declare free from errors.
    Thanks all.

    Microsoft's Platform SDK should be helpful at msdn.microsoft.com/downloads

    http://www.allapi.net is also quite good.

    Just have in mind that the API's in the SDK are given in C++. So you may have some troubles understanding pointers, addreses and other stuff. But the constants are the same.

    Well, here's a great tutorial on how to convert C++ declarations to vb ones, it's not that hard once you get it

    http://www.vbthunder.com/reference/readcpp.html
    Code:
    0x00008
means
&H8  'you may wonder where all the trailing 0's are? they are left out VB by default ;)

so the 0x tells us it's a hex value, in VB that is
&H
    Well ehm just take a look at the site, everything is explained there
