If you want to learn about Win32 API programming in Visual Basic you should definitely read this one: "Visual Basic Programmers Guide to the Win32 API" by Dan Appleman or you should just buy it as a good reference. It has everything in it.

No, I meant the site may be meant for Visual Basic.net, but you can use the functions in Dark Basic too. I didnt search up the site for Visual Basic either.

oh :p

I was under the impression that you couldn't use the windows API in DPBro because of the way the DLLs are compiled.

Oh well
