Appendix F. Windows API Reference Information

NOTE

In this appendix you will find information about the Windows API to support the tutorials in Chapter 13.

So now you probably know enough about using the Win32 API to get yourself into some serious trouble. The trick now is to find information about the APIs that are available for use, and how to use them with VBA.

Unlike programming languages, information about the Windows API is somewhat harder to find. As there are literally hundreds of API functions included in the Windows operating system, the information that is available is mostly incomplete. There are also quite a few API functions that Microsoft hasn't publicly documented, for whatever reason. We haven't yet found a single resource that includes everything, so we recommend using several resources.
