Hi All!

I have a question...

In my program I have a .dll from which I have to open Local Phone settings. What API I should use for that?? Have a great day!

Could you possibly be a little more specific ?

What exactly do want to do and what do you mean by Phone Settings

A.C

If you try to access the DLL then you need to know the name of the functions and which arguments they take. (Not all DLL's can be accesed from VB).

If you want more info on Windows API start by downloading the apiviewer at

You can access every Dll from VB! But you have to know the correct declaration...

By the way...

ApiViewer 2001 is out of date.

You can download the new ApiViewer 2002 Beta here:

Au contraire. For example, if functions in a C/C++ DLL do not use the __stdcall calling convention, then VB can't use them (well, it can but it will crash, since VB doesn't know that it is supposed to clean up the stack)
