Include the header file? Add the static library to your project?

What do you want to do? Maybe you''ll get more useful (and better informed) replies if you say.

You know how in VB you declare an API such as PtInRect and then you can use it in your program? How do I do that in C++?

  #include <windows.h>

That''ll get you most of the Win32 API functions.
Then you just call the function you want...

I still hate html

I you want to get at an undocumented api call, then you need to use LoadLibrary and hook up to the appro. .dll yourself.
