VB interrupt functions.......

[Kelly G.]

Hello All

Is there any intrrupt function avilable in VB similar to Int86() avilable in
C language.

I tried the CALL INTERRUPT function mentioned in KB# 43534. But it seems
like it is not for VB.

I could not implement that.

The required included files are not avilable in VB6 .Also See Tip 140:
Identifying CD-ROM Drives

at MSDN page given below

msdn.microsoft.com/archive/en-us/ dnarvbtips/html/msdn_msdn140.asp

In this some dll files are used to call interrupt function. where it is

avilable? Is there any readymade dll's avilable for VB from Microsoft (or)

whether we need to create DLL in C++ which may be used in VB6?

Please help!!

Regards,

Kelly

I don't see why you crossposted to *.dotnet groups?

VB6 (or VB.NET) have no such thing. There is a way to inline assembler in
VB6, which is explained in Matt Curland's book (www.powervb.com). Ultimately
you're probably better off just creating a C DLL and calling it from VB.

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought that DOS interrupts weren't supported in
Win32. I thought this only applied to 16 bit processes running under 32-bit
Windows, the interrupts effectively been handled by a Windows software
layer.
