No, the Win32 SDK is not required. Visual Basic includes the Win32 API Viewer, which provides some minimal documentation for Win32 function parameters. However, it is usually advantageous to have some form of documentation on the API. The Microsoft Developer Network Library CD has extensive documentation on the API. Another recommendation would be the book “Visual Basic Programmers Guide to the Win 32 API” by Daniel Appleman, which is published by Ziff-Davis.
