Hi guys,

what are the best place on the web where I can find the list of all thh
constants like:
WM_QUERYENDSESSION As Integer = &H11 (possibly with some explanations)
... etc ...

to be used for instance with:

Protected Overrides Sub WndProc(ByRef m As
System.Windows.Forms.Message)
'...
End Sub

Thank you very much in advance

-Pam

Awesome. That site goes in my highly critiqued, "guard it like you would
your own children" favourites list.

The most reliable way is to translate the '#define's in the according header
files. The name of the header file containing the define is listed in the
documentation.

My ActiveVB-coworker Christoph von Wittich provides an API viewer that can
export declares/... for VB.NET:

ApiViewer
<URL:http://www.apiviewer.de/>

English translation:

ApiViewer (en)
<URL:http://www.activevb.de/rubriken/apiviewer/index-apiviewereng.html>

pinvoke.net is a web-based collaborative wiki that collects declares/... for
different .NET programming languages:

pinvoke.net: the interop wiki!

If you don't want to struggle with the declares yourself, you can use this
library:

thank you!! I have taken a look at:
http://www.pinvoke.net/default.aspx/Enums.WindowsMessages

impressive!

But isn't there a place where each one of these is explained, besides
than a list?

Thank you very much for this resource !!

I just installed it!

PS
I saw that within the environment listed there is no .NET.
Is it the same to use vb6 ?

AFAIK it doesn't integrate with VS.NET, but in the ApiViewer's "Options"
dialog the programming language can be selected.
