Help converting VB 6.0 to VB 2005

[Bl00dFox]

Hi guys

I converted a VB6 project to a VB 2005 project. All went well, but there is an error in this code:

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll"  Alias "SendMessageA"(ByVal hwnd As Integer, ByVal Msg As Integer, ByRef wParam As Any, ByRef lParam As Any) As Integer

VS2005 tells me:

Error 1 'As Any' is not supported in 'Declare' statements.

Can someone help me fix this? Thanks

Hi ,

This type of declaration is not supported in Visual Basic 2005. In VB 6.0 variables of type As Any were often used to pass a variable that was either a string or Null; you will have to replace this Visual Basic 6.0 usage by declaring two forms of the API, one with longs, one with strings.
