Radu,

If you read through the file shapefil.h that comes with
Shapelib you will see all the available C functions.

Normally you would use Shapelib to read a shape with the
SHPReadObject() function and then pull the vertices
from the returned C structure (SHPObject).  However, I
suspect this will be inconvenient from VB6.

Best regards,
