No examples for VB6, but if I were doing it, I'd make a separate C++ DLL with an exported function that gives me what I want and use VB6 to call that.
Steamclient.dll does export some functions, but nothing with what you want. Everything else is in an interface and working with that in VB6 will be impossible. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Michael Bang Sent: Monday, January 04, 2010 2:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [hlcoders] How to find SteamID Thanks a lot! That really helped. You wouldn't happen to have an example of how to use the Steamclient.dll file in VB6/.net lying around, would you? ;-) I've not been looking deeply into it, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on how to use the steamclient.dll.
