where is the api viewer

[Cal]

I posted this in vb.controls but it now occurrs to me that it should have
gone here.

When I click on the Add In Manager the resulting list is empty.

What I need is the API Viewer that VB6 had.
Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not sure if there is a direct analogue. WinCV.exe lets you look at
pretty much every object in the Framework.

There is no replacement included in VS.NET.

You can use this tool instead (notice that some (most) of the declares
won't work):

There is no equivalent.

If you're interested, I have a set of classes that encapsulate a large
portion of the Win32 API. I can't remember where I got it, but it was
mentioned on these groups. It is freeware. If anyone knows the link,
kindly post it.

If you're interested, I can zip it up.

Not sure if my last post made it. Sorry if this is duplicated.

I have a set of classes that encapsulate a very large portion of the Win32
API. I found it on these groups. It is freeware to the best of my
knowledge. If anyone knows the link, kindly post. Anyway, its 86K zipped.
I could attach it to the group, but wasn't sure if that's too large.

If anyone is interested, let me know.

I hate to ask you to go through the trouble but I would appreciate receiving
the classes.

Thanks much

PS The email address I use with the group is NG so I just changed it, but
you must remove "REMOVE" from the one in this note.

HI, Cal

There is no dotnet equivalent to the API Viewer. It is a stand alone
application, so there is nothing that prevents you from using it to fill
the clipboard with the declares you are looking for. The types in the VB6
declares are not going to be correct for VS.Net, but you should be able to
do a global edit of the VB6 files, replacing Long with Int32, for example.
The class based approach that was mentioned earlier sounds like a better
alternative.

For the most commonly used API functions, you will probably find that they
are already encapsulated in one of the dotnet classes. Figuring out which
classes is the rub.

Thank you for choosing the MSDN Managed Newsgroups,

Hi Chris,

Is it the Win32 Library (C#) for .NET By Wesner Moise?
http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/Win32.asp

Or do you have a VB one?

Fergus

I used WinDiff to check - and they are the same

Have you used CreateDC. Seens to me the return type should be IntPtr because
that's the type hdc arguments use.
