Hi, does anyone know if there''s any good online resources (reference docs/guides, tutorials, etc.) covering the Win32 API (not MFC)? Some things are just too damn hard to find information about in MSDN... Best regards, Henrik

Yeah for Msdn its like you have to know what you are looking for before you start. No way are you just going to "browse the Msdn"

The best References & docs for Win32 API in MSDN (although sometimes it lacks explanation). The main missing part is the tutorials.

try http://www.relisoft.com/ for some C++ Win32 basics tutorial.

Sorry if I can''t help. That''s what I know.

Hi,
thanks for the link. Perhaps I''ll find some info there. The reason I was asking in the first place was that I planned to use a GUI component that Visual Studio calls "List Control", but I could not find ANY information about it in MSDN (which otherwise is excellent), except for the equivalent MFC class.

Basically what I needed to know was what messages to pass to the control. The only way I could find out was by looking at the MFC source for the CListCtrl class to get the name of the messages and THEN I was able to look them up in MSDN. Unnecessary complicated... :/

Well, thanx again,
Henrik
