Which bit aren't you getting, Larry? (Not sure how far your
existing expertise extends). The LoadLibrary stuff is what
ctypes.windll encapsulates. ie
<code>
import ctypes
shell32 = ctypes.windll.shell32
m_hLibShell32 = shell32._handle
</code>
gets you the same as the Form_Load Sub. Alternatively, you
could import the lower-level _ctypes and use its LoadLibrary
binding directly:
<code>
import _ctypes
m_hLibShell32 = _ctypes.LoadLibrary ("shell32.dll")
#
#
_ctypes.FreeLibrary (m_hLibShell32)
</code>
But maybe that's not the bit you're having trouble with?
