API Documentation

[Frinavale]

Hi!

I've been trying out VB6 and am having a hard time getting used to it coming from a background of C++, Java, and .NET. I didn't think it would be that far of a stretch from VB.NET but it's proving to be more challenging than I thought. What I learned in school as "the old style of doing things" isn't the "old style" using VB6...it is "the only way"

Anyways, enough ranting.

I've been trying to find the API documentation on the wininet.dll and can't seem to find it. I just want a list of functions and constants etc so I can figure things out for myself .
(Instead of blindly using sample code I'm finding online to help solve my problems....they some how know what constants are used to find values and I don't want to just "trust" them...that and I'm looking for an up-to-date API)

Someone was telling me that they downloaded a package with something like 99% of the Win32 DLL APIs. When I went to the site where they said I'd find it, I found that the site's been taken over by some company that doesn't seem to have kept the old documentation.

Does anyone know where I could find this API documentation package?

Cheers!

Frinavale,

I'm going to make a copy of this thread in the VB forum, so you'll be more likely to get an answer to your question.

Good luck!

This link may be some help.
Likewise this one, this one and this one.

Thanks for the reply Killer

I've been to all of these sites but they mainly give examples on how to use the wininet.dll. I was hoping for documentation on the DLL. One of the sites has a link to the msdn page where I'm assuming the documentation used to be. I've searched the msdn site as well but could not find the documentation.

I guess what I'm looking for is kind of the equivalent to Sun's online API Specifications for all win32 DLL's.

It may not even exist...I'm hoping that it does exist and that maybe someone knows where this treasure is hidden.

I also did a bit of digging around for the doco. Found one or two things, but they are probably places you've already checked, but here they are anyway.
One at MSDN, one at "Active State".
