Windows Programming Tutorial
This part introduces you to Win32 programming. We will start developing a tiny
drawing program and improve upon it as we move through the lessons. At the end of this
series, not only will you have a full fledged drawing application but I hope you
will have learnt enough of the basics of windows programming to feel right at home.
- Lesson 1 - Your first windows Program [Win32, C]
We begin our programming quest here. You will write your first windows program which will
display the Hello World message. While doing this, you'll get familiar with Dev-C++, your
programming environment.
- Lesson 2 - A simple win32 application [Win32, C]
In this lesson, you will learn the basics of writing a windows program and we'll take a
look at the windows event driven system. This will also serve as a starting code for the rest
of the tutorial.
- Lesson 3 - Understanding GDI elements [Win32, C]
In this lesson, we'll take a look at some of the drawing methods that windows provides.
This is where we will look at drawing functions and actually draw.
- Lesson 4 - Changing colors [Win32, C]
In this lesson, you'll learn to change the background and foreground color of various
window controls like the edit, list box and the scrollbar controls.
- Lesson 5 - Introducing Subclassing [Win32, C][Offline]
In this chapter, I'll introduce subclassing which will allow you to change the default
behaviour of windows. You will learn to and create your own callback function.
