SUMMARY
One of the following errors may occur when you use the ExitWindows API function declaration from the API Text Viewer.

Run-time error '453':

Specified DLL function not found

- or -

Run-time error '453':

Can't find DLL entry point ExitWindows in user32



MORE INFORMATION
There is an incomplete declare statement in the API Viewer for the ExitWindows function.

To use this function correctly, add 'Alias "ExitWindowsEx" ' to the function declaration so the declare statement is as follows:

Declare Function ExitWindows Lib "user32" Alias "ExitWindowsEx" (ByVal _  dwReserved As Long, ByVal uReturnCode As Long) As Long

You can also change the statement in the file win32api.txt so the next time you use the API Text Viewer, the Declare statement will be correct.
