Book for API & CreateObject()

[astonmak]

Dear all,

If I'd like to know much more about API and the reference of CreateObject(), what kind of book will be better? and any reference?

Thanks
Aston

For API try this:
Dan Appleman's Visual Basic Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API
Look on Amazon or Barnes&Noble

or a more lightweight but just as good book

WIN32 API programming with VB by steven ronan (O Reilly books)

(and yes i own both mentioned books)

for createobject i would say MSDN is the best reference if not a little tricky to navigate!!!

good luck

Hi ADoozer,

Although MSDN providing the syntax of CreateObject(), but is there viewer able to see what property or method is the COM Server (application such as Excel...) providing.

And Thanks u all helping.

If you reference the object (Project|References) rather than use the CreateObject then you'll get Intellisense and Object Browser support
