This course provides an overview of the Microsoft Win32 application programming interface (API), how it is organized, and some of its features that you can use in your Visual Basic Windows applications. The Win32 API includes services that go beyond the core language and controls provided with Visual Basic such as system management, networking, printing, and security. Using the Win32 API, you can develop applications that run successfully on all platforms while still being able to take advantage of unique features and capabilities of any given platform. This course will show you how to gain access to the Windows API by declaring the external procedures within your Visual Basic application. After you declare a procedure, you can use it like any other language feature in the product. This course is written to Visual Basic 6.0.
