API viewer

Please show me,how can I know detail about .dll file which not include in API viewer.For example rasapi32.dll,all about declare,const,type.

The good thing about the API viewer is that it puts all the standard API calls in one place and in VB declaration syntax.

For other DLLs though, you have to search for info. MSDN is a good source...

Here is the top part of a page I found on RAS:

Platform SDK: RAS/Routing and RAS
Remote Access Service Functions
Use the following functions to implement RAS functionality:

ORASADFunc
RASADFunc
RasClearConnectionStatistics
RasClearLinkStatistics
RasConnectionNotification
RasCreatePhonebookEntry
RasCustomDeleteEntryNotify
RasCustomDial
RasCustomDialDlg
RasCustomEntryDlg
RasCustomHangUp
RasDeleteEntry
RasDeleteSubEntry
RasDial
RasDialDlg
RasDialFunc


Each entry in the above list is a hypertext link so if I click on, say, RasCustomHangUp, I would get:

RasCustomHangUp
The RasCustomHangUp function is an application-defined function that is exported by a third-party custom-dialing DLL. This function allows third-party vendors to implement custom connection hang-up routines.

DWORD (WINAPI * RasCustomHangUp) (
HRASCONN hRasConn // handle to a RAS connection
);
Parameters
hRasConn
Handle to the RAS connection to hang up.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value should be zero.

If the function fails, the return value should be a nonzero error value listed in Raserror.h, or ERROR_INVALID_HANDLE.

Remarks
RAS will call this entry point from RasHangUp, if the szCustomDialDll member of the RASENTRY structure for the entry being dialed specifies a custom-dialing DLL.

Requirements
Windows NT/2000: Requires Windows 2000.
Windows 95/98: Unsupported.
Header: Declared in Ras.h.

From this listing, I would have to try and figure out the proper VB declaration syntax. In this case, it looks like it's something like:

Declare Function RasCustomHangUp Lib "RASAPI32.DLL" (ByVal hRasConn As Long) As Long
