Hi all
        Hope someone can help i am quite new to vb and i dont understand
where to use type definitions
this is what i am trying to do
i want to display the cursor position cordinates
so i declare this : Declare Function GetCursorPos Lib "user32.dll" (ByVal
lpPoint As POINTAPI) As Long
in my general declarations of my form.

but where do i use type to declare the POINTAPI type i use this
Type POINTAPI
  x As Long
  y As Long
End Type

But where in the code should it go? on the form in a bas module or what??

                        Thanks Andy

The TYPE decleration must be put in the Decletations-section of a module (.bas or whatever)

Type definitions must go in a Module.
Once defined, you should declare a variable of that
type, i.e.,

Type POINTAPI
        x as Long
        y as Long
End Type

Dim pointdata as POINTAPI
or
Global pointdata as POINTAPI
