>Hello all,

>I am having one heck of a time trying to use GetDeviceCaps(). I found code that uses the FoxTools.FLL to access this function however I do not want to distribute any more libraries than I already have to. With this in mind, I've attempted to call it as an API function. MSDN says that this function is declared in the GDI32.LIB but I am unable to locate this on my system. Is this a library that is typically distributed in a Win 95/98/2000/NT environment? I've tried doing the following:

>DECLARE INTEGER GetDeviceCaps IN GDI32 LONG, INTEGER
>
>but whenever I try to run the function, I receive "Cannot find entry point getdevicecaps in the DLL". I've tried substituting GDI32 with WIN32API but that doesn't seem to work either. Can someone provide me with some guidence on this one?

Yes, GDI32.DLL is a standard part of Win32. It sounds like your declaration isn't what's shown above. What's shown above is correct, however, if it isn't done exactly as shown, you'll get an error because DLL declarations are case sensitive. So IOW, if you issue:

declare integer getdevicecaps IN GDI32 INTEGER, INTEGER

you'll get this error.

Take a look at the doc on the DECLARE - DLL command, it'll show you what functions the Win32API declaration as the library searches.
