Call a 16-bit DLL in Win32

[MaRiØ]

I have a 16-bit DLL and I need to call it In a Win32 App.
this dll runs with VB3 Ok (16 bit...)

i´ve read something about some undocumented Kernel32 Api´s:
LoadLibrary16 "kernel32" "#35"...
but i can´t do nothing.
thaNks.;

Not aware of any reverse thunking mechanism for 32-bit VB. Perhaps someone knows of one.

The other method is to write an Active EXE COM wrapper in 16-bit VB 4.0 for the 16-bit API function
calls, which would be accessible from either a 16 or 32-bit application.
