win32api? as in the thread link here.

[dynamic_sysop]

hi can some please shed some light on this please?
WIN32API
this is the line within that thread that im after some help with..

Win32API.GetWindowText(hwnd, s, s.Capacity)

how do i get Win32API to be declared?
im using my normal method of api ( as i would in vb6 but with the changes to Integers etc ) but i saw this thread and it made me curious as to what the Win32API part is?
cheers.

That just means somebody has wrapped a normal declare in a class and called it Win32API

cheers maybe you can answer me another quick ?
i have a window handle through FindWindowEx like this...

    Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
        Dim f As Integer
        Dim foo As Integer
        Dim fCls As Integer
        Dim strString As New StringBuilder(256)
        f = FindWindowEx(wWnd, 0, "#32770", vbNullString)
        f = FindWindowEx(f, 0, "ATL:37242C40", vbNullString)
        f = FindWindowEx(f, 0, "ATL:MSNChatListView4", vbNullString)
        foo = GetNextWindow(f, 2)
        fWnd = foo
        fCls = GetClassName(foo, strString, strString.Capacity)
        Me.Text = strString.ToString()
    End Sub

the problem is , when i try to subclass the item ( fWnd , which is an integer ) i get an error message that i cant convert an integer to intptr

sClass = New Subclass(fWnd)
/// here the error occurs

any ideas how to combat this?
cheers.

       Dim ipt As IntPtr
        ipt = IntPtr.op_Explicit(fWnd)
        sClass = New Subclass(ipt)
