[slinkelist] Plea for VB help

[Ted Smith]

In fact, you probably want to use the "API Text Viewer", which is under the
"Visual Studio 6.0 Tools" menu on my system. (The actual program name on my
system is "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\Common\Tools\Winapi\APILOAD.EXE".)

Anyway it lets you select any of the Win32 API structures/routines and
produces VB declarations for you to copy into your VB source, here are the
results for the routines Mike mentioned:

Public Declare Function GetSystemMetrics Lib "user32" Alias
"GetSystemMetrics" (ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function SystemParametersInfo Lib "user32" Alias
"SystemParametersInfoA" (ByVal uAction As Long, ByVal uParam As Long, ByRef
lpvParam As Any, ByVal fuWinIni As Long) As Long
Public Declare Function GetWindowRect Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowRect"
(ByVal hwnd As Long, lpRect As RECT) As Long
Public Declare Function GetClientRect Lib "user32" Alias "GetClientRect"
(ByVal hwnd As Long, lpRect As RECT) As Long
Public Type RECT
        Left As Long
        Top As Long
        Right As Long
        Bottom As Long
End Type

I'm not a VB person but do know that you can access the Windows API from VB.
Use it to get what you need.  The GetSystemMetrics, SystemParametersInfo,
GetWindowRect, and GetClientRect APIs should do the trick.
