WIN32 API Programming with Visual Basic Steven Roman
Publisher: O'Reilly Media

NET/C# to wrap Win32, so that's not really an advantage for classic VB. In the early 1990s, Microsoft announced that its two core strategic technologies were Win32 and the Component Object Model (COM). If we trace the data After stepping into the code further, we found that it is retrieving the Win32 API addresses this way:. We can see, the first two dwords in the data structure correspond to the VB marker —VB5!6, in this case. Developers can use the Windows Fax Service API to connect to a HylaFAX server. See http://www.ifax.com/products/hylafsp/faq.html for a VB Script example of controlling HylaFSP. Would anyone else care to share I mean if you know vb6 that's great, but if you are just getting into programming I am not sure what learning vb6 uniquely offers for "today's computing" that .NET doesn't co-opt. A couple of things that occur to me personally are the ease of creating and using COM objects, and the ease of creating wrappers for the Win32 API. Programs written in Visual Basic can also use the Windows API, but doing so requires external function declarations. A programmer can put together an application using the components provided with Visual Basic itself. The Win32 API is the core programming interface for Windows CE.
