| | | API | Runs a function found in an external DLL. | | APIConfigure | Modifies the options for calling API and CallDLL32. | | BitcoinValidAddress | Checks whether a Bitcoin wallet address is valid. | | CallDLL32 | Runs a function found in an external DLL. | | CallInterface | Runs a method of an interface of an object implemented in a DLL external to the WINDEV framework. | | COMCallMethod | Runs a method of an interface of a COM object instantiated by COMCreateInstance. | | COMCreateInstance | Instantiates a COM object (Component Object Model). | | COMQueryInterface | Calls the QueryInterface method of the specified COM object to get a specific interface of this object so that it can be used with COMCallMethod. | | CreateShortcut | Creates a shortcut on the Windows desktop, in the "Start" menu of Windows or in a specific directory. | | DeleteShortcut | Deletes a shortcut previously created by CreateShortcut from the Windows desktop, from the "Start" menu of Windows or from a specific directory. | | FreeDLL | Frees the 32-bit library (DLL) that was loaded in memory by LoadDLL. | | HiWord | Returns the two high bytes of an integer. | | IBANValid | Checks the validity of an International Bank Acount Number (IBAN). | | IconInstall | Creates an icon (associated with a program) in a group of Windows programs, with the associated command line. | | Instance | Returns the "system handle" (HINSTANCE) of the current program. | | KeyPressed | Checks which key is pressed. | | LoadDLL | Loads the specified library (DLL) in memory. | | LoWord | Returns the two low bytes of an integer. | | MakeInteger | Builds a 4-byte integer from two 2-byte integers. | | OpenSSLCheck | Checks, via a public key, that the signature of data performed with the OpenSSL library is correct. | | Ping | Checks whether a network address can be reached by using the ICMP protocol (similar to the PING network utility). | | sComputeCrc16 | Checks a character string before and after transmission between WINDEV applications and WEBDEVsites. | | sComputeCrc32 | Calculates the Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC) of buffer. | | SendKey | Simulates the keystrokes and the mouse actions. | | Transfer | Copies a block of bytes or a fixed-length string from a memory address into another one. | | WindowsVersion | Returns the runtime mode of Windows. |
You also have the ability to use the following types of variables:
| | | API description | An API Description variable is used to describe an API, its parameters, its return value and its calling options by programming. |

Training (WINDEV): WD SystemAPIs
[ + ] This example presents the use of the Windows APIs. Several WLanguage functions are used to perform the following operations: - Hide the system buttons of an MDI child window - Enumerate the opened windows - Retrieve/Modify the time of a double click - Retrieve the idle time on the computer - Empty the recycle bin (by using or not an "API descriptor" variable) - Change the screen background - Modify the caret (input cursor) of an edit control - Share a directory - Delete a share These functions use the Windows APIs. See the help window for more details.
