WinInet

[inich]

I was glad to see that version 9 includes the WinINet API.  It contains a set of procedures for connecting to the internet, connecting to FTP and other sites, and downloading and uploading files.

Could some one please point me to some help on the syntax, the parameters, return values and other information for these procedures?  I would very much like to incorporate some of them into one of my projects.

Any and all assistance would be gratefully received.  I am a totally-blind hobbyist programmer, using adaptive software to keep track of what is going on at the keyboard and on the screen.

inich,

Welcome on board. the type of reference you need is the online reference from MSDN which is the most up to date. Here is the link to it.

inich,

Welcome a Board !!!     

Forum 'Search' is your friend, along with Google.   

Please read the forum rules.

Which screen reader are you using?  With which programming package are you using with it? 

At the university, I did some of this kind of setup work for our blind students.

Hello Hutch and T1,

Thanks to you both for your replies to my query.  I had looked around, but failed to find any useful assistance on the WinINet API.  Now I have what I need.

I use JAWS as my screen reader.  I use MS Word and Excel quite a bit for general word processing and data storage.  For editing source files when programming, I use a text editor which I have developped myself over the past 15 years.  I call it "SoundText" and have given it the features that I like, such as on-screen line and column numbers, current file size, file name and total size and number of lines, all of which are in 2 status bars.  It has the capability of having 8 documents active at the same time with single keystroke switching among them.  Each document is in a dynamically-variably-sized memory block so they don't interfere with each other.  I'm rather proud of it, although it's still got a couple of elusive little bugs.

Anyway, enough boasting.  Again, thanks very much for the help.
