I want to find a conversion for the Sleep API.

Should it be:
Rich (BB code):
#If  VBA7 Then ' Excel 2010 or later
 
    Public Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal Milliseconds As LongPtr)
 
#Else  ' Excel 2007 or earlier
 
    Public Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal Milliseconds As Long)
 
#End  If
or
Rich (BB code):
#If  Win64 Then
    Private Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
#Else 
    Private Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
   
#End  If

I have seen another API and it's very complicted:
Rich (BB code):
#If  VBA7 Then    ' (OFFICE 2010 AND LATER - Either 32bit or 64bit Editions)
    
        Private Declare PtrSafe Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, _
                                                                                      ByVal lpWindowName As String) As LongPtr
    
        #If  Win64 Then   '(64bit OS) AND (64bit Office)
        
            Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongPtrA" (ByVal hWnd As LongPtr, _
                                                                                                   ByVal nIndex As Long) As LongPtr
                                                                                                   
            Private Declare PtrSafe Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongPtrA" (ByVal hWnd As LongPtr, _
                                                                                                   ByVal nIndex As Long, _
                                                                                                   ByVal dwNewLong As LongPtr) As LongPtr
        
        #Else     ' (32 or 64 bit OS) AND (32bit Office)
            
            Private Declare PtrSafe Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As LongPtr, _
                                                                                                ByVal nIndex As Long) As Long
                                                                                                
            Private Declare PtrSafe Function SetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "SetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As LongPtr, _
                                                                                                ByVal nIndex As Long, _
                                                                                                ByVal dwNewLong As Long) As Long
         
         #End  If
    
    #Else     ' (OFFICE 2007 AND BEFORE)  .. Both (32bit OS) AND (32bit Office)
    
        Private Declare Function FindWindow Lib "user32" Alias "FindWindowA" (ByVal lpClassName As String, _
                                                                              ByVal lpWindowName As String) As Long
                                                                              
        Private Declare Function GetWindowLong Lib "user32" Alias "GetWindowLongA" (ByVal hWnd As Long, _

Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
As far as I know, the correct declaration is:
Rich (BB code):
#If VBA7 Then
Declare PtrSafe Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Sleep" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
#Else 
Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" Alias "Sleep" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)
#End  If

Will that take care of all the combinations, ie?


OFFICE 2010 AND LATER - Either 32bit or 64bit Editions
(32 or 64 bit OS) AND (32bit Office)
(OFFICE 2007 AND BEFORE) .. Both (32bit OS) AND (32bit Office)

Either of your two options should work for Sleep.
