- Walk, no RUN down to your local bookstore - look for "Visual Basic How-To"
- a book by the Waite Group Press. A number of good examples on using the
- Windows API (only Windows 3.0 though) discussed in the book and on the
- examples disk. The disk also has a file called "WINAPI.TXT" which contains
- a good VB reference to the Windows 3.0 API...
-
- Another alternative is to get the WINAPI file from the Microsoft BBS (don't
- have their number though) or from their Basic support forum library on
- CompuServe (GO MSBASIC, look in the VB library...), They also will have
- the updated file for Win 3.1...
