Title: where do I start??
Post by: fbartra on June 26, 2015, 09:18:52 PM
I know a bit of C language
I am very new with windows programming
is there a basic windows intro?
I have downloaded many examples, but they are using a lot of functions but many of them can't find any info on it

i.e. WinMain = start code here
i.e. CALLBACK = message handling, etc

Thank you

Keep improving your C skills until you can say you know it "well enough":

Use a tutorial to begin coding quickly, and MSDN to understand and improve the tutorial code:
