Public Static (Shared) Methods

Beep The Beep function generates simple tones on the speaker. The function is synchronous; it does not return control to its caller until the sound finishes.
FreeLibrary The FreeLibrary function decrements the reference count of the loaded dynamic-link library (DLL). When the reference count reaches zero, the module is unmapped from the address space of the calling process and the handle is no longer valid.
GetDllDirectory The GetDllDirectory function retrieves the application-specific portion of the search path used to locate DLLs for the application.
GetModuleFileName The GetModuleFileName function retrieves the fully qualified path for the specified module. To specify the process that contains the module, use the GetModuleFileNameEx function.
GetModuleHandle The GetModuleHandle function retrieves a module handle for the specified module if the file has been mapped into the address space of the calling process. To avoid the race conditions described in the Remarks section, use the GetModuleHandleEx function.
GetProcAddress The GetProcAddress function retrieves the address of an exported function or variable from the specified dynamic-link library (DLL).
GetProcessWorkingSetSize The GetProcessWorkingSetSize function retrieves the minimum and maximum working set sizes of the specified process.
GetSystemDirectory The GetSystemDirectory function retrieves the path of the system directory. The system directory contains system such files such as dynamic-link libraries, drivers, and font files. This function is provided primarily for compatibility. Applications should store code in the Program Files folder and persistent data in the Application Data folder in the user's profile.
GetSystemInfo The GetSystemInfo function returns information about the current system. To retrieve accurate information for a Win32-based application running on WOW64, call the GetNativeSystemInfo function.
GetSystemWindowsDirectory The GetSystemWindowsDirectory function retrieves the path of the shared Windows directory on a multi-user system.
GetTickCount The GetTickCount function retrieves the number of milliseconds that have elapsed since the system was started. It is limited to the resolution of the system timer. To obtain the system timer resolution, use the GetSystemTimeAdjustment function.
GetWindowsDirectory The GetWindowsDirectory function retrieves the path of the Windows directory. The Windows directory contains such files as applications, initialization files, and help files. This function is provided primarily for compatibility. Applications should store code in the Program Files folder and persistent data in the Application Data folder in the user's profile.
GlobalMemoryStatus The GlobalMemoryStatus function obtains information about the system's current usage of both physical and virtual memory. To obtain information about the extended portion of the virtual address space, or if your application may run on computers with more than 4 GB of main memory, use the GlobalMemoryStatusEx function.
IsProcessorFeaturePresent The IsProcessorFeaturePresent function determines whether the specified processor feature is supported by the current computer.
LoadLibrary The LoadLibrary function maps the specified executable module into the address space of the calling process.
QueryPerformanceCounter The QueryPerformanceCounter function retrieves the current value of the high-resolution performance counter.
QueryPerformanceCounterFast The QueryPerformanceCounterFast function retrieves the current value of the high-resolution performance counter.
QueryPerformanceFrequency The QueryPerformanceFrequency function retrieves the frequency of the high-resolution performance counter, if one exists. The frequency cannot change while the system is running.
SetDllDirectory The SetDllDirectory function modifies the search path used to locate DLLs for the application.
SetProcessWorkingSetSize The SetProcessWorkingSetSize function sets the minimum and maximum working set sizes for the specified process.
