I would like to call some win32 functions in the user32.dll, but all the examples I see on the net only call functions from user made dll's. Is this because I have to create a special .h file with javah for when the dll is created? If that is true then I can see why the user32.dll wouldn't work and I would probable have to create my own dll, then call the win32 functions from that. I'm not sure if that is the reason, maybe someone could fill me in. If anyone has any examples of java calling win32 functions please email them to me or provide a link.

You can only call user made DLLs. A DLL has to be
built for JNI to work. USER.DLL knows nothing about JNI
so it won''t work.

To call something in USER.DLL you have make
a intermediate C++ DLL that makes the call for
you.

Look at my open-source JWindows project
(a win32 wrapper for Java) here
http://www.rolemaker.dk/JWindows/index.htm

Yo might be able to use this library instead of writing
the calls yourself.

Thanks eh!

I ended up making my own wrapper for the few function calls I needed shortly after and that did work.
