Step-by-Step Example

1. Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default.
2. Place a command button on the form.
3. Add the following code to the form1 code window:

      Option Explicit
   
      Private Declare Function GetModuleHandle Lib "Kernel" _
         (ByVal Module As String) As Integer
      Private Declare Function LoadString Lib "user" _
         (ByVal hInst As Integer, ByVal wID As Integer, _
         ByVal buf As Any, ByVal size As Integer) As Integer
   
      Sub Command1_Click()
       Dim ihInst As Integer
       Dim sUserName As String * 128
       Dim sOrganization As String * 128
       Dim sTitle As String
       Dim iLength As Integer
       ihInst = GetModuleHandle("user.exe")
       iLength = LoadString(ihInst, 514, sUserName, Len(sUserName))
       sUserName = Left$(sUserName, iLength)
       iLength = LoadString(ihInst, 515, sOrganization, Len(sOrganization))
       sOrganization = Left$(sOrganization, iLength)
       Print sUserName
       Print sOrganization
      End Sub
   					

4. Press F5 to run the project. Click the command button. The information should be printed on the form.
