This is a VB.NET group (see group name).
 
Declare the function in the dll that you want like this for example.

Private Declare Function SendMessage Lib "user32.dll" Alias "SendMessageA"
(ByVal hWnd As IntPtr, ByVal wMsg As Int32, ByVal wParam As Int32, ByVal
lParam As Int32) As Int32

Const WM_VSCROLL As Int32 = &H115

Const SB_LINEDOWN As Int32 = 1

Const SB_LINEUP As Int32 = 0

The OP cross-posted both a VB.Net and VB Classic group. Hence, whatever your
reply, it would be out-of-place in one of the 2 groups.

As it is, no one is quite sure whether the OP wanted a .Net or a VB6 answer
