The WinAPI Viewer allows you to browse through Declares, Constants, and Types that are included in a Text API file or a Microsoft® Jet Database. Items may be copied to the clipboard and subsequently copied to your Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) code.
By default, the WinAPI Viewer uses the Win32api.txt text file to store API information. You can convert this to a Jet Database for better performance. It is much faster to display the list when opening a database than when opening a .txt file. You can convert the .txt files to Jet Database files simply by loading the .txt file and choosing "Convert..." from the File menu.
