- 1. This is an API Search utility program for Visual Basic programmers.
- It can load VB declaration modules, such as the win32api.txt that ships
- with VB, and enable searches. It can find declarations, types and
- constants.
-
- 2. Unlike the API Loader program that ships with VB:
- * API Finder(c) does not need to load and unload files
- each time you want to do a search. Files are loaded
- only once, and reside in the software's database.
-
- * API Loader looks for a statement as you type in a listbox.
- This can be awkward. API Finder(c) searches using
- a string the user types in a text box, by using the
- 'LIKE' operator. Searches start only after the user
- clicks the search button.
-
- * There are also other Search Options:
- 1. The user can select where to look for the API statement
- i.e. win32api.txt, win30api.txt, multimedia declares, etc.
- 2. The user can select what API statement to look for:
- Type, Declare or Constant.
- 3. For Declares, The user can select which DLL file to look in.
- 4. The user can search in the full declaration of the API statement,
- or in its name.
-
- * Once items are found, they can be copied to the clipboard
- or exported to a text file, formatted as a VB BAS module.
-
- 3. Requirements:
- Requires VB4, Professional Edition.
-
- 4. Installation:
- Just create a directory and unzip the APIFind.ZIP file to
- that directory. Then double click on the APIFIND.EXE,
- and that's it, you're in business.
-
- 5. Registration:
- Registration is $12.95 per licence.
- Registered users are entitled to free tech support,
- free future upgrades and, of course, a version of the
- software without the annoying "Please Register" messages.
