Introduction

Wapix, the Windows API Extension, is a set of VBX custom
controls that provide an easy and safe way to use Windows
API functions, without the need for declarations or DLL
calls.  The Visual Basic programmer simply sets and reads
custom control properties to call the Windows API.  Wapix
capabilities include:  reading and modifying INI files,
getting information on memory and resource utilization,
setting Wallpaper and other system parameters, flashing
window title bars, forcing windows on top, and many others.
It also includes other capabilities not included in the 
standard Windows API, such as getting available disk space,
and adding/updating groups and item icons in Program Manager.

Beginning and experienced Visual Basic programmers alike
will benefit from using Wapix Custom Controls for a number
of reasons.  Wapix controls are easier to use than creating
function declarations, creating the correct string and
numeric variables, and then calling them with the correct
arguments.  Wapix reduces the need to search the Windows API
documentation for function usage and arguments, and
eliminates the need to copy declaration statements from one
project to another.  And perhaps most importantly, Wapix
reduces the chance of system crashes that can be caused by
calling the Windows API incorrectly (for example, a string
with the wrong length, or a mismatch in the variable type).
