Windows API - Searching a fonction

[Jac Tremblay]

Hi,
I am tryiing to find a function to encrypt some text or a file and the
corresponding decrypt function. In my search, i found some interesting
information but the code example is in ASP or C++ or something else but not
in VB or VBA. The information is also incomplete and practically unusable.
One of the links is:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa364021(VS.85).aspx
I would like to know if one can find a practical example of the declaration
in VBA along with an a simple example of call.
Actually, I would like to have access to a list of all the Windows API
fonctions and hot to use them in VB6 or VBA.
Note: I do not want a third party application that does the job.
Can someone help me, please?
Thanks

Hi Jac

When you know that VBA is VB6 it gets easier. Here's one million + hits for
a start:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=vb6+encrypt+decrypt&aq=1&oq=vb6+encrypt

Dunno why you want Windows to do the job, but there may well be several
Windows API solutions among them.

HTH. Best wishes Harald

Re: "I would like to have access to a list of all the Windows API
functions and how to use them in VB6 or VBA."

My list is 1500 pages long, contained in the "Visual Basic 5.0 -
Programmer's Guide to the Win32 API" by Dan Appleman
ISBN 1-56276-446-2
(only for the dedicated)

The "API Viewer 2004" is a free add-in with a display of all API
Subs and Functions; plus Types, Constants and Enumerations.
It allows you to copy any of them and paste directly into your code.
Properly installed you can access it from the Add-Ins menu in the VBE...

Hi Harald,
These links are super. That's exactly what I wanted. Thank you.
The reason why I want Windows to do the job is because I do not want to
program a crypting application and I cannot use a third party's application.
I need something sweet and simple. That is why I thought about Windows API.
Thanks for your quick answer and have a good day.

Hi Jim,
The API viewer 2004 is something I need. I checked it out at home last night
and it seems to do the job even though I couldn't find examples of calling
the functions (not yet at least).
I will try it again here at work and post back if I need to.
Thank you for this precious information.
Have a good day in Portland.
