Subj : Re: Quick Question To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : "Ed Mulroy [TeamB]" Date : Fri Dec 26 2003 02:39 pm The compiler's examples directory contains many directories each of which has a working Windows program illustrating one or more techniques and/or activites from which you should be able to learn. The examples mostly use OWL or Object Windows Library, a class library which encapsulates the Windows API. For specifics on how Windows itself works it would be best if you got a book. There are many to choose from. One of the best has been published as a series with an edition for almost each of the major revisions that Windows has gone through, Petzold's "Programming Windows *" where the * is the version number. There are enough of them around that you have a good chance of finding a copy of one of the versions in a used book store. ..
