Hi,
I am working on VB project. I am new to VB. Could any one tells me what do
the following codes do?
Specially, what does GetPrivateProfileString do?
Private Declare Function GetPrivateProfileString _
Lib "kernel32" Alias "GetPrivateProfileStringA" _
(ByVal lpSectionName As String, _
ByVal lpKeyName As Any, _
ByVal lpDefault As String, _
ByVal lpReturnedString As String, _
ByVal nSize As Long, _
ByVal lpFileName As String) As Long
Dim success As Long
Dim nSize As Long
Dim ret As String
ret = Space$(2048)
nSize = Len(ret)
success = GetPrivateProfileString(lpSectionName, lpKeyName, _
defaultValue, ret, nSize, inifile)
I have no idea what is going on here. What will be success value?

Looks to me that you are working in a VB6 project in which case you might want to ask in
a VB6 group:

Hi
A Quick search in Google will tell you all you need to know about what
the function is for.
