That should be: WS_VISIBLE | WS_CHILD.

You need a header module that imports the function. Try the vfw.d module 
at the project Jarrett pointed you to.

You'll also need vfw32.lib, which isn't part of the DMD distribution, 
but will be on your system if you've downloaded the Platform SDK - in 
which case, you'll need to run it through coffimplib 
(ftp://ftp.digitalmars.com/coffimplib.zip).
