[Dev-C++] Windows Help Files for C++ and API

[<al...@ne...>]

Hi list,

i just found out about DevC++'s customizable Help-Menu - i really like
the feature of opening a help-file and searching in it after prssing F1.

I'm currently searching for a Windows Help file (format: .hlp)
that offers help for all C++ keywords, the Standard Library, C++'s
headers and, if possible, the same for C in only one help file.
Until now, i have only been able to find The GNU C Library Reference
Manual for C version 0.1 (using vUdpdate), but nothing comparable for
C++.

I also found a .hlp-file for the Win32 API, but that file is quite old
(1996), are there any other, newer files around? The file is titled by
"Microsoft® Win32® Programmer's Reference". I don't think the file i
already have offers help for the new API calls the newer Windows
versions introduced (they did do so, right?).

I'd appreciate some help in this case of searching help ;-)

Bye, Alex

For gcc go to http://www.mingw.org and search in documentation section. 
I downloaded some time ago the chm format help files, and I don't 
remember if they are in hlp too (if that matters you). No there are chm 
files or postscript or online.
For win32 API, it seems that it's impossible to finde newer versions: 
all I found are always the same. I got the version 5.00.2180.1. And the 
other three I thought could be newer have no differences. The one at 
MingW is from 1999, I've just seen it now.
