Hint_SA (Standalone)

[John Z]

Seems like the Hint add-in would be also useful to more people if it was a standalone program,
then it could be used with MASM, C, or anything else needing some win API information.

So....here is Hint_SA, basically the same functionality as the Hint Add-in but with some differences to accommodate the standalone requirement.

Works well installed as a Pelles C IDE 'tool' too.

Three files are needed two of the three are included in the attached Just_Hint_SA.7z.  Win32.chm needs to be added to the Hint_SA program directory, it is too big to include here.

The Hint_SA_project.zip is the entire project, but without win32.chm as well.  It uses SQLite3 so if it does not compile you'll need to get those files.  In the project zip the db3 is 7z'ed so it would fit.  Un-7z it before use.

Hopefully useful,

Update: removed old sources and exe, get the newer sources and program below.

Very interesting, especially when you need to quickly retrieve information about a particular API.

Thanks John.

Here is version 1.1 of the Hint_SA program. 

No functional changes but there was a lot of residual 'add-in' code left in the first release.  So this is just a code clean-up and some de-spagettification to make it a bit clearer.

Added some clarifications and details to the Read_ME_Hint_SA.txt file.

hint_sa.zip includes Pelles C project files
just_program_hint_SA.7z obviously is just the exe and db3 file.
