API Return codes

[Nikolay Petrov]

Does anyone know where I can find the Windows API's return codes?

I know they are in platform SDK, but I wonder isn't there other place where
I can find them, because I don't wish to download the SDK.

If you have a permanent internet connection, you can lookup the return
values on the online version of the SDK documentation. If you only need the
declares/constants:

My ActiveVB-coworker Christoph von Wittch provides an API viewer that can
export declares/... for VB.NET:

English translation:

ApiViewer (en)

pinvoke.net is a web-based collaborative wiki that collects declares/... for
different .NET programming languages:

If you don't want to struggle with the declares yourself, you can use this
library:

A lot of the APIs are documented in the Win32 Programmer's Reference
Help file - typically Win32SDK.hlp

That should have come with your VB6

Thanks to both of you
