SUMMARY
=======
The CAPI and the creation of WLLs are only supported through the Office
Developer Consulting Line, which provides consulting services at a rate of $195
per hour. The consulting line can be reached at 800-936-5200. Support is done on
a call-back basis.
Questions regarding the CAPI and WLLs can be posted to the Microsoft Internet
Newsgroups at
http://support.microsoft.com/isapi/gosupport.asp?target=/newsgroups/. These
newsgroups are public forums and not directly supported by Microsoft.
NOTE: The Microsoft Word Developer's Kit includes MAPI Extensions (WBMAPI.DLL)
and ODBC Extensions (WBODBC.WLL). These add-ons are examples only and are not
supported by Microsoft, as documented in the beginning of the Appendixes in the
third edition of the Microsoft Word Developer's Kit.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The CAPI or Word Application Programming Interface is described in Appendix C of
the Microsoft Word Developer's Kit. The CAPI allows C programmers to create
Windows DLL files that contain code to drive Word. These DLLs contain equivalent
WordBasic code in the C language.
WLLs are add-ons to Word that are typically placed in the <Winword>\Startup
folder. WLLs are basically renamed DLLs that offer faster add-on functionality
than what WordBasic offers.
The Microsoft Word Developer's Kit includes two extensions to Word:
- WBMAPI.DLL, documented in Appendix A, is installed in the
<Windows>\System directory and allows WordBasic macros to integrate
with a MAPI mail system.
- WBODBC.WLL, documented in Appendix B, is a Word add-on that is either placed
in the <Winword>\Startup folder or loaded using the File Templates
dialog box. This WLL allows WordBasic macros to access data in any database
management system that supports ODBC.
