win32api? as in the thread link here.

[dynamic_sysop]

hi can some please shed some light on this please?

WIN32API

this is the line within that thread that i'm after some help with..

Win32API.GetWindowText(hwnd, s, s.Capacity)

how do i get Win32API to be declared?

i'm using my normal method of api ( as i would in vb6 but with the changes to Integers etc ) but i saw this thread and it made me curious as to what the Win32API part is?

cheers.

That just means somebody has wrapped a normal declare in a class and called it Win32API :)

cheers :) maybe you can answer me another quick ?

i have a window handle through FindWindowEx like this...

   Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
       Dim f As Integer
       Dim foo As Integer
       Dim fCls As Integer
       Dim strString As New StringBuilder(256)
       f = FindWindowEx(wWnd, 0, "#32770", vbNullString)
       f = FindWindowEx(f, 0, "ATL:37242C40", vbNullString)
       f = FindWindowEx(f, 0, "ATL:MSNChatListView4", vbNullString)
       foo = GetNextWindow(f, 2)
       fWnd = foo
       fCls = GetClassName(foo, strString, strString.Capacity)
       Me.Text = strString.ToString()
   End Sub

the problem is , when i try to subclass the item ( fWnd , which is an integer ) i get an error message that i cant convert an integer to intptr

'sClass = New Subclass(fWnd)
'/// here the error occurs

any ideas how to combat this?

cheers.

it's ok i got it:)

      Dim ipt As IntPtr
       ipt = IntPtr.op_Explicit(fWnd)
       sClass = New Subclass(ipt)
