If you are already using Component Enabler from a .NET language, we strongly recommend that you change to using the CEWindowsAPI interface.

This interface allows early binding and IntelliSense from within the Visual Studio.NET environment.

To use the CEWindowsAPI environment, simply make a reference to the CEWindowsAPI.dll file.

In the Solution Explorer window, select the project, right-click to display the sub-menu and select Add Reference to display the Add Reference dialog.

Click Browse and navigate to the Component Enabler directory containing the CEWindowsAPI.dll file. Select the CEWindowsAPI.dll file, and click OK. This adds the reference to the project.

You can now declare variables of the CEWindowsAPI namespace, with IntelliSense to help you.
