Windows 2000 True of False?

[Crypt]

Hiyas,

what I've heard about windows 2000 is that it is completely 32-bit, and you can't use 16-bit api calls in your vb program if you want it to work on windows 2000 is that true?

also how do you tell which api calls are 32-bit and which api calls are 16-bit?

Public Declare Function InvertRect Lib "user32" Alias "InvertRect" (ByVal hdc As Long, lpRect As RECT) As Long

To tell if it's 32-bit, it should have the suffix 32 at the end of the Lib file. For example, user32, gdi32, kernel32, advapi32 etc.

There is a help file called Win32.hlp which is about 23 megabytes. It holds information on all API syntaxes and every single thing you want to know about 32 bit \ 16 bit version + some examples. It's pretty hard to find this file so you can e-mail me and i'll send you the file.

ok thanx for the info , so does that mean the wininet.dll is a 16-bit api call? because I think the Microsoft Internet Trasnsfer Control uses that call, and that means a lot of my programs won't work on windows 2000.

Well... ISU works on Win2k fine for me
So I guess that means that wininet.dll is 32 bit so either:

you can't use 16-bit api calls in your vb program if you want it to work on windows 2000

or

To tell if it's 32-bit, it should have the suffix 32 at the end of the Lib file.

is wrong And more to the point...what would wininet.dll be doing in my c:\winnt\system32 directory if i were 16-bit anyway!? I didn't put it there, if it were 16-bit an Win2k doesn't support 16-bit then Microsoft or any 16-bit program didn't put it there...so it MUST be 32-bit.

Ha ha! Got it... bring up the properties window for wininet.dll... click the version tab and see that the description says "Internet Extensions for Win32"...or take my word for it

Subject change...where's Whatson1.7?

wooohooooooo lol whatson will work on win2k thanx mathew ya made my day http://members.xoom.com/else57jdvq/W1.7.zip
but now that means I have to edit whatsons help file lol dang.

I'm at work now, (on a Win98 machine) but I've just downloaded it and I'll try it out om my Win2k machine tonight.

Like the new version. Has got another frame on the main form.

Like the option to save the search results too, but you should give the option on the file menu a shortcut key (like CTRL+S) and set the flags of the commondialog control to 4...that'll get rid of the "Open file as read-only" checkbox

Blumin evil Internet Transfere Control thingy! Not lettin u kill a transfere dead an all that

Reccon you should make the help file into a frames page and consider hosting it on a website instead of on the person's local machine...so you can update it easily.

Like the site BTW :P
