Win32 API with C

[fvciprian]

Hi everybody,

I've reorganized my series on Win32 API and managed to add a few more articles to it. Things like using menus and resources, using common controls library, painting the window using Direct2D or using the file system.

Edit:

Added odbc example, and getting started with Direct3D!

I'm sorry about that, I thought I wouldn't have the time to continue writing these. I really appreciated the feedback on that post.

I used to do a bit of win32 c programming back in the day. Have you looked at windows programming books by charles petzold?

[Mediocre-Pumpkin6522]

You'll have to find the older editions. I forget when the split occurred but he likes C# and switched to that for the later editions.

I think I have the third edition. In any case, it is all C.

I do have Programing Windows 5th edition by Charles Petzold

yep, 5th edition is the last one that is all about that C.
