    Cool Are You Tired Calling to the API?

    If you don't want to spen time typing just to declare a Function or somesort, I have a module that will make it a little easier.

    win.tlb

    It has evey single API classes you need.

    And Guess what?

    It was made by Microsoft for Windows 98 API Structure.

    It works like a charm.

    Its too big too upload anywhere and i dont have the time to gather the files with it. But it is on on your Win95/Win98 CD. Just search for "Win.tbl" on your CD and copy the (i think) entire "tools" folder to your hard drive and then you can add it to the refence library in VB. That way you dont have to worry about the "Insert CD" error.

    But then you'd have to distribute the file with your application -- which can be costly if the file is large.

    The file is only 606K but the total of its required files is about 3MB
    Also the CD Path is ".\tools\reskit\sysfiles" is what i remember.

    Megatron is completely, totally correct. Aside from the size issue, there is no reason to distribute a file containing declarations/functions/sub routines/etc that are not used in the distributed application.

    That is just flat BAD and LAZY programming.
