icon About API Calls...

there are just so many API calls out there,
but why is it that there also are many undocumented API calls?

how can a programmer get these "hidden" calls?
is there a way to access them?

if not, where can wfind undocumented APIs?

gasp! help!

I'm sure by now our big brother vbgen has some answers to this question, but for those who don't, you could try running the depends utility which comes with VS6 and see the DLLs that other programs depend on and the functions they call in them. After doing this you will then have the very difficult task of finding out what they do.

An easier option is to hope that some hotshot programmers elsewhere have found some and published them on the net. You can then search for these. A place I know you can get some nice tricks is VB accelerator and VB to the max.
