Re: [Dev-C++] Windows Programing

[Benjamin W. <ben...@ho...>]

Good morning,

We've had this question not too long ago.  My recommendation is Charles 
Petzold's -- Programming Windows, 5th Ed.  His web site is:

http://www.charlespetzold.com/home.html

It's a hardback, 1500+ page book that covers the Win32 API better than any 
other book I have ever read.  If you are serious about Windows programming, 
you really should pick up a copy.

Hope that helps.

Ben

[Dev-C++] Windows Programing

Hi Simo, some weeks ago i had the same problem and the solution i found =
wasnt a tutorial, either was read as many examples as you can and learn =
the steps to follow in the creation of a window (this is the most =
difficult thing ive found to begin learning), you will see that in all =
simple examples the steps are:

Make tyhe class
Fill all the class properties (style, icon, cursor, etc)
Register the class
Show the window

But for learn to do this you may have a good help resource like the =
Microsoft's Visual Studio help (MSDN help libraries), cause is almost =
imposible know of memory all the properties that takes a class like one =
WNDCLASS, it have 11 properties more or less.

I have a little small tutorial that i downloaded, if you want i can send =
it to you, only drop me a email, my mail is dwi...@ma...
