Win32 API Programming

(1/2) > >>

Halifax:
Does anybody know Win32 API programming here. I got the basics down and I have the menu toolbar, and I handle all the messages and I know how to use resources. I just need to know how to make fine tuned stuff like textbox with scrolling and getting info from textboxes and then printing and all that good stuff

Fallen Ghost:
Well, I had found some tutorials for C++ (or C, whatever) Win 32 API and they showed a bit of text input/processing, but most of the functions were to be found in MSDN's library.

http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

I left that because I hadn't got any decent tutorials for it. Have you found some? What program do you use to compile?

Halifax:
No I have not found any good tutorials but I use Dev-C++ for everything cause it's perfect for everything. Also Dev-C++ holds a cache of your last compile so say you only change one thing then it will only take .1 second to compile because it uses a type of "smart" compiler.

EDIT: I have read that tutorial that you posted :/ and it is not really a tutorial because when you get to Text boxes and things he explains nothing so it doesn't help much thanks anyways though

http://www.relisoft.com/win32/index.htm

The first result of a Google search for "windows api C++ tutorials."

Know that there are also cross-platform GUI toolkits such as wxWidgets and Qt.  

Halifax:
I don't need cross-platform I am just making a database for my dad that he is using for his business.

EDIT: also I have seen that site before too. I searched "Win32 API C++ Programming" it gets the same results
