If you can't do some thing with API, you can't do it. Windows provides a lot of functions (more than 900) that help to the programmers to make more things with their programms. In fact, all programms call at least one API. All the things a program does, like open files, play sounds, show windows, etc... are done through API, althrough you don't call APIs explicitly in your program.

APIs are needed. Imagine you are in VB and want to change the caption of your window. Just type Form1.Caption = "New text". Easy, isn't it? Well, now suppose you want to change the text of a window that you don't below. A window of other program. What can you do? You can't use the .Caption property. You need API.

I suggest you to read this article: http://www.pietschsoft.com/programming/vbapi/articles/intro/index.html or, at least, the 1st point.
