About this Article:

Ken's previous article in this series, Set Timed Event with Win32 API Callbacks (October 2007), introduced you to the concept of calling Windows API functions that require callbacks, using VBA's AddressOf operator. In this article, you'll investigate a powerful API function that uses a callback function, EnumWindows.
