Unfortunately, the installer for v8.0 says Vista or greater is needed.

I installed v2.5 from the link, but dang is that old lol. I tried to run some GUI programs that work on my Win10 pc and they don't build. They don't use anything crazy, just a window with some buttons.

I'm still a noob when it comes to the Win32 API, but is there a way to upgrade or something? Or could it just be an issue with the PellesC version being too old?

Some may not want to mess with the main details window shown above and just want the details.  This was an input from HellOfMice.

This version of the Hint.dll will check in the \Bin\Help directory for a file named Expert.mode.
If this file exist then no main window will be shown, all details will go directly to the Pelle Output tab. The file existence can be changed at any time and no need to restart Pelle C.

The only window to be seen will be if there are multiple functions to choose from.
The prototype is still set to the clipboard.

Output Tab example:

Code Select Expand

Function:           AbortDoc
Purpose:           function stops the current print job and erases everything drawn since the last call to the topic_startdoc
Prototype:           int AbortDoc( HDC hdc );
Parameters:           //( Handle to device context )
Header:               wingdi.h
Library:           gdi32.lib
Hopefully this makes it more usable for everyone from experts to beginners.


Did I mention there are over 10,000 functions available....well now I did

Note: this is only the new dll.  Download the DB from the full package in previous post, the zip file.

This was probably asked somewhere already, but is there a repository of the old versions that would work on WinXP?

There's a link on the downloads page to "johnfindlay.plus.com" but it appears to be broken... I'm also not even sure that would have older versions.

GdiPlus have some functions for displaying image:

Code Select Expand

GpGraphics *g;
GdipCreateFromHDC(hDC, &g);
GdipDrawImage(g, img, 0.0, 0.0);
//GdipDrawImageRect(g, img, 0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 100.0);
GdipDeleteGraphics(g);Naturally painting a bitmap might be faster.
