ICQ API! Cool!

[skald2k]

Im new to API's!

I downloaded the ICQ API and tried to use it, but I have to get the following function working first... would someone convert it to VB for me?

This:

void WINAPI ICQAPIUtil_SetUserNotificationFunc(UINT uNotificationCode, void *pUserFunc);

This is what I get:

Private Declare Function ICQAPIUtil_SetUserNotificationFunc Lib "C:\ICQMAPI.dll" (uNotificationCode As Long, pUserFunc As Variant)

but its no good.

Parameters should be:

(ByVal uNotificationCode As Long, ByVal pUserFunc As Long)

And in your call, pUserFunc must be a subroutine passed using the AddressOf keyword.

HTH,

the above site will help you with your translations.....

but whilst you are reading....

It's a void - so it's a sub.....

And the pointer to the pUserFunc should be a long.....

And take the path out of the dll name, and make sure you put the DLL in the path somewhere...

Private Declare Sub ICQAPIUtil_SetUserNotificationFunc Lib "ICQMAPI.dll" (ByVal uNotificationCode As Long, ByVal pUserFunc As Long)

In fact someone else has already translated loads of this stuff -

Thanks guys!

And take the path out of the dll name, and make sure you put the DLL in the path somewhere...

If I take the path out how will VB know where the DLL is?
