How do DLLs Work?
These are generally referred to as the Windows 32 API. (application
programming interface) You can start he http://www.mentalis.org/ -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Colin Steadman" wrote in message m... I've just stumbled across this script in Google Groups- ================================================== ============== Declare Function WNetGetConnection Lib "mpr.dll" _ Alias "WNetGetConnectionA" (ByVal lpszLocalName As String, _ ByVal lpszRemoteName As String, cbRemoteName As Long) As Long 'Shows where a drive is mapped to! Sub ShowMappedDrivePath() Dim Buffer As String * 255 Dim BuffSize As Long BuffSize = 255 If WNetGetConnection("h:", Buffer, BuffSize) = 0 Then MsgBox Left(Buffer, InStr(1, Buffer, Chr(0)) - 1) End If End Sub ================================================== ============== And I have been using something similar to bring back username (WNetGetUser) from mpr.dll (using another script I came across in Google). I've been using these scripts for a long time, and I think its about time I understood exactly whats going on. If there was no Google, how could I independantly look at whats available in the hidden depths of DLLs? Could anyone explain or point me at a good article. TIA, Colin |
