WinApiForVb library contains over 900 KB of API declarations, constants, ... for both ANSI and Unicode. I put it together so as to do away with copying and pasting API declarations from project to project along with a number of other reasons (mainly string handling and interfaces). The AllApiDemo, as the name states, is a project which demonstartes how to create and use (using only API) all gui and some none gui elements ranging from a simple elements such as buttons to richedit, treeview, imagelist, ... To use, copy the type library from WinApiForVb_Compiled folder to your system folder. Open up AllApiDemp project or any other and go to preferences, find => WinApi For VB type library <= entry, select it and click ok. Now you should see the contents of the library in object browser. BTW, those who are thinknig about dependencies, a compiled project, does not need the type library to be present in the client's pc to run. VB includes the necessary API declarations in the exe.
===============================
Minor changes;
===============================
Corrected some problems with data type declaration in interfaces. Added IEnumSTATURL, IUrlHistoryStg, IUrlHistoryStg2 interfaces, STATURL type, STATURLFLAGS, and STATURL_QUERYFLAGS enums .Modified the listview form to use the new interfaces to read and display IE history. Replaced the snapshot.
Peace
