Simplify the definition of Windows API calls

Hello community,
you find in the ActiveVB community a program to define very easy code fragments in VB for the definition of Windows API calls - you find the program here - also in English. Choose the Windows API function you need, type Ctrl+C in the APIViewer and Ctrl+V in the Jabaco editor and you have the definition you need. All you must do is to change Declare in WinAPI. I use the this program with Jabaco and save thereby a lot of work.



Cheers
Stefan

Just for addition - by using a simple plug in for the ApiViewer, you do not need to change the "Declare" into "WinAPI" by hand. Just download the attachment, unpack both files to the \PlugIns folder of your installation of ApiViewer and select "Jabaco" as language in the options :)
If you should wonder why it complains the plugin is not signed - I asked Christoph (the programmer of ApiViewer) how to sign the file, but he cannot find the program anymore. But as soon as the new version of ApiViewer is released, I will sign the new plug in ;)

Take care to get what you like or you will be forced to like what you get!

Some things can only be done with API calls. Most API:s are however exposed trough the quite extensive Java Framework.
Also even if you use API-calls, remember to wrap them neatly so only the wrapper becomes dependent on WinAPI... that makes it easy to replace the funktion if you need to port the app to a platform that doesnt support WinAPI...
