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... - Galen -
