Rectangle and Point Functions -- Ch. 29. Cursor and Caret Functions -- App. A. Win32 API Function and Subroutine Prototypes -- App. B. Win32 API Structure Declarations -- App. C. Win32 API Constant Declarations.
Summary: Visual Basic Programming with the Windows API gets you "up-to-speed" on interfacing VB and the Windows 32-bit API. You'll learn essential techniques for declaring API functions and passing information to them. You'll find practical guidance and live code examples for dozens of the most frequently used Windows APIs. Learn Windows API functions for managing keyboard and other inputs, the system timer, system control, and the device context. Within the device context, you'll learn about scaling and coordinates, clipping and region functions. Discover powerful approaches to GDI drawing, attributes, bitmaps, icons, fonts, menus, dialogs, text, memory, strings and control functions, printing, files and more.
