How to view API

[arunbalait]

Hi all,

I want to view the list of API without using any 3rd party software.

Is it possible to view the APIs like API Viewer.

Am in urgent. Somebody help me soon please.

Thanks all.

What is the problem with API Viewer ?

The simple answer is no. To do what the API viewer does, you would have to find or write another program which does pretty much the same thing. Why bother?

Of course, you could have a look around on the web. There are probably plenty of sites (including Microsoft) where you can browse information about the Windows API.

(Also, have a look around the Object Browser provided with VB. It is quite helpful at times.)

Hi

I found API Viewer in VS6.0 Tool-> API Viewer..

But it lists the APIs in the text file. But I couldnt load the dll file.. I want to know the APIs used in the dll files.

Is it possible?

Am getting error in a Biometric project that API was not initialized.

Thats why am searching for initializing API.

Thanx

What you need is documentation for the specific API functions/library that you're using. There isn't one "API". API is a general term for the interface that you call just about anywhere, but usually in a DLL.
