Hi

i looking for example of declaring and use of GUID, the msdn example is very
confusing, can anyone help me?

if my GUID is F9168C5E-CEB2-4faa-B6BF-329BF39FA1E4, how do i store it in a
variable so that later on i can use it during an API call SetupDiGetClassDevs
from setupapi.dll

Imports System.Runtime.InteropServices

Public myGUID As New Guid ("F9168C5E-CEB2-4faa-B6BF-329BF39FA1E4")

....

Public Declare Auto Function SetupDiGetClassDevs Lib "Setupapi.dll" _
    (ByRef ClassGuid As Guid, _
    ByVal Enumerator As String, _
    ByVal hwndParent As IntPtr, _
    ByVal Flags As Integer) As IntPtr

Anyway, should look something like that anyway :)
