Er....API calls replacement

[Jethro]

With exactly what, am still trying to work out where ther have hidden this little gem. The MS contact claims it's there but even he can't pin point it

[Cander]

same way pretty much with some notes.

If you would use Long for a parameter or return value of the call, it must be changed to integer

The ByVal's and ByRefs are required.

You can specify whehter to return Ansi or Unicode..most generally you will use Ansi

Public Declare Ansi Function BitBlt .......

Passing structure/types is differnt now and I really dont have the knowledge to go in depth about it..may need to look it up.

I heared ther are some .NET security permissions required since using API's makes it unmanaged code.

Just make sure that if you need to use an API, that there is not a .NET namespace available for the operation. Things like BitBlt should be obsolete with .NET and you shouldnt need them.

Thanks Cander, will look into it
