    Is it better to use the Ex things like CreateWindowEx, RegisterClassEx, etc instead of the normal ones? Are they more recent stuff or somethibg like that? Whats the difference?

      http://howto.skabb.net/Windows%20C%20reference%20\(win32hlp.exe)/win32hlp.exe

      Basically stuff M$ wanted to add later to functions, they had to make new ones (Ex). Otherwise, the behavior of the original functions would change and the coding peters wouldn't know what was going on. When a function is made, it should be standardized and its general behavior should not change.
