i worked out what i was doing wrong! Idiot here downloaded and installed the VB5 runtime environments from the site by mistake! Doh!

Now I've got it working, it's really useful! The descriptions make life so simple (although I have managed to turn off my PC 3 times whilst trying examples!) Thx guys!

The default install installs to "C:\Program Files\API-Guide\API-Guide.exe"

Question from your local idiot:

If i downloaded the API Guide, nd pressed "Install", where did i install it to? I can't find where the program is!

API application is too long to imagine. How to describe it easily without to save it our memory.

Top right hand side of the thread view. Click on Rate this topic I was playing around and rated this one 5 stars and the story one. Well they are HOT topics. I Think the star rating depends on the ammount of people who vote. E.g. I Voted for this topic and gave it 5 stars therefore out of all the people who Voted (namely 1) the average is 5 stars. I Think

Turning on the PC? How does that work?

RE: apiguide: useful for all programmers!

James — Tue, 29 Jun 2004 09:34:21 GMT

istill APi can be used for practically everything. From Turning the PC OFF!!! to opening and closing the CD draw. And much much more. Go to the MSDN website and read about them.

Ric: Have you read the latest article on VB 2005? I'm liking the sound of MY function

imagine

My.Computer.Audio.Play(C:\Cool.wav)

RE: apiguide: useful for all programmers!

istill316 — Tue, 29 Jun 2004 09:24:50 GMT

Yeah... I was trying to learn the API before but just got confused. What exactly can it be used for, and how?

RE: apiguide: useful for all programmers!

James — Tue, 29 Jun 2004 03:23:02 GMT

A great Idea but I think people might also need explanations and guidance but like you said ric it is a good Idea to have it so we can link posts to it.

James

Booooze — Mon, 28 Jun 2004 19:14:08 GMT

good thinking
so many people tend to ask stuff that requires an api, so we can just send them to this post, that or they should have there topic in this forum

apiguide: useful for all programmers!

TrickyRic — Mon, 28 Jun 2004 15:17:34 GMT

hi, i'm sure everyones noticed just how much i post links to the apiguide, so i'll stick it here. please note i'm in no way affiliated with this program!

anyway, whether you use api or not, download it and give it a little icon in your task bar. its worth it . it lists just about every win32 api available, along with info, examples, and requirements.

i'll make this sticky but if it shouldnt be then feel free to unsticky it. i wasnt too sure...
