DECLARE in standard module are PUBLIC by default and be used anywhere in your app
DECLARE in any other module are PRIVATE to that module and MUST BE marked PRIVATE
Procedure names are CASE-SENSITIVE

ALIAS - Is the "real" name of the procedure as found in the DLL

ALIAS - If API uses string, you MUST use ALIAS with "A" to specify the correct character set (A=ANSI W=UNICODE)
ALIAS - WinNT supports W, but Win95/Win98 do not
ALIAS - Some DLLs have illegal VB name, so you must use ALIAS to rename the procedure
ALIAS - can also be the ordinal number of the procedure

TYPE - Very few DLLs recognize VARIANT

TYPE - ByRef is VB default
TYPE - Most DLLs expect ByVal
TYPE - In C documentation, C passes all arguments except arrays by value
TYPE - AS ANY can be used but it turns off all type checking

Strings - Pass string ByVal means passing pointer to first data byte in the string
Strings - Pass string ByRef means passing memory address to another memory addresss which refers to first data byte in the string
Strings - Most DLLs expect LPSTR (ASCIIZ) strings (end in a null character), which point to the first data byte
Strings - VB Strings should be passed ByVal (in general)
Strings - VB uses BSTR strings (header + data bytes) - BSTR is passed as a pointer to the header
Strings - DLL can modify data in a string variable that it receives as an argument - WARNING: if returned value is longer than passed value, system error occurs!
Strings - Generally, API do not expect string buffers longer than 255 characters
Strings - C & VB both treat a string array as an array of pointers to string data

Arrays - Pass entire array by passing the first element of the array ByRef
Arrays - Pass individual elements of array just like any other variable
Arrays - If pass binary data to DLL, use array of Byte characters

callback function - use AddressOf to pass a user-defined function that the DLL procedure can use
callback function - must have specific set of arguments, AS DEFINED by the API procedure
callback function - procedure MUST be in a .BAS module
callback function - passed procedure must be As Any or As Long

??? Wrapper function

??? Subclassing

To pass a null value - zero-length string ("") will not work

To pass a null value - use vbNullString
To pass a null value - change Type to Long and then use 0&

Control properties MUST be passed by value (use intermediate value to pass ByRef)
Handles - always declare as ByVal Long
Variant - to pass Variant to argument that is not a Variant type, pass the Variant data ByVal
UDT - cannot be passed except as ByRef

IIS applications - resides on the web server and is browser-independent. Must have IIS on the user PC
DHTML applications - requires MSIE 4.0 or greater AND VB run-time file (msvbvm50.dll) on the user PC
