In particular, I have found System. The Win32 Application Programming Interface (API) is probably the most powerful add-on component available for Visual Basic. For instance, to show a window (a form in Visual Basic), to resize a window or to add an item to list box Windows use APIs. The Win32 API, or Application Programming Interface, is of immense use in extending the power of Visual Basic. I believe the solution can be achieved by implementing some Windows API calls. Hundreds of functions are available to perform a wide variety of tasks. Simply sliding the mouse pointer down the right edge of the monitor causes the charm bar to reappear. Though Now the above definition may look scary, so we will look at an alternative VB6 syntax of the same API (We can use the ApiViewer tool for the same). In the early 1990s, Microsoft announced that its two core strategic technologies were Win32 and the Component Object Model (COM). For this we would need the help of Win32 APIs. Programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but doing so requires external function declarations. The Win32 API is the core programming interface for Windows CE. A programmer can put together an application using the components provided with Visual Basic itself. If you're after free programming eBooks then please click here. But why should a Visual Basic programmer worry about all this? In this article Jason shows us how to create a cool zoomable magnifier using Visual Basic 6 and the Windows API.
