RE: [GD-Windows] Windows Standards Guide?

[Philip T. <pt...@mi...>]

MSDN, the Win32 doc-set, and the headers are primary source for Windows =
Developers.

then there are the "respected" volumes on Win32 programming.=20

MSDN and the relevant books do a pretty good job wrt to standard Win32 =
programming issues. thats were you will find 'proper' Win32 programming =
info.

it is very hard to serve all needs, of course, in these resources; but =
its rare that you need to worry about things like WM_CREATE vs =
WM_NCCREATE. so in the vast majority of cases these resources do a very =
respectable job. I mentioned it because the discussion included a query =
as to why someone would choose WM_CREATE.

PS. think about doing Windows programming pre-MSDN...thats when it was =
truly a challenge to get good info.
