PB Tool & JAPBE: MSDN Api, Const & PB Proc Finder

Post by Zebuddi123 »

Hi to all

Here is a small PB tool "MSDN API Finder" (8k)---(would have used MSVS10 but 345Mb was a little to big lol :lol: )
Anyway it gets the current word under the cursor from PB Editor and opens your browser @ MSDN + API word.
Quick and simple if you not familiar with the API`s or a particular one

/EDIT
Thanks to Thomas (TS-Soft) this tool now includes finding Windows Constants, also if a PB procedure is under the cursor
will auto look for links in the PB Forums to that procedure


Tool set Up
Commandline: where you install this tool
Name: MSDN API Finder or what ever you like
Shortcut: CTRL+\ works for me quick and easy

MD5 3fdd2a44792f773b035dab8bd9cffb45

Hope you find it usefull

Zebuddi :D

/EDIT
Just came across "Ts-soft" tip http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... =MSDN+HELP for the same type of code from looking through old coding questions http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtop ... 13&t=41800. very similar code to thomas`s although his is more concise and 6 years ahead of mine, just glad my search string was different. lol :)
Respect Thomas

No download without registration on the Filehoster?
Can you make available please another download link?
Dropbox would be a free possibility.

I thank you, the download works fine.
I give you a feedback to your tool after testing :wink:

// edit
works fine for API, but you should add support for constants.
