Thanks! =|:o) Well, I've been programming for almost 4 years now (in DOS), and
Windows programming was impossible for me to do, unless I did it through VB,
heheheh. I was never able to write Windows programs in C, but after I taught
myself the Win32 API through Euphoria, everything started to make sense, and I
was able to write Win32 programs in C........Hehehe.. The funny thing is that I
haven't wrote any programs in C in about 4 months since I've been learning this
stuff. Speaking of C, I need to get back to working on ABSprite v2.0.. Sorry
it took so long to reply.. I've been goofing off with my email lately.. Heheh.

P.S. Some stuff for everyone (they probably already figured this stuff out.)
-- #1 start --
include dll.e
constant
dll_kernel32 = open_dll("kernel32.dll"),
api_GetModuleHandle = define_c_func(dll_kernel32, "GetModuleHandleA",
{C_POINTER}, C_POINTER)
-- Get the program instance handle --
atom hInstance
hInstance = c_func(api_GetModuleHandle, {NULL})
-- #1 end --
-- #2 start --
include machine.e
--------
-- reallocate
--------
global function reallocate(atom oldblock, integer nbytes)
-- Reallocates a block of memory --
atom newblock
-- Allocate space for the new block --
newblock = allocate(nbytes)
if not newblock then
return 0
end if
-- Copy the contents of the old block --
mem_copy(newblock, oldblock, nbytes)
-- Free the old block --
free(oldblock)
-- Return a pointer to the new block --
return newblock
end function

-- You all probably knew that one.. If not, well, now ya know.
-- There's probably a better way to do that, but, I'm not sure. Heh.
