In this area I will be posting API tutorials.  Please do not post in this area unless you are posting API help type stuff.  General topics will be moved.

I just wanted to post up a two good sites related to Win32 API programming.

An online Win32 API Reference Wiki
http://pinvoke.net

AND

Microsoft's online Reference @ MSDN
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa383749(VS.85).aspx

This should help all.

Hi kromag,

Thanks for the links.

The audience of pinvoke.net seems to be only the .NET developers. Does it provide any support for asm coders?

[kromag]

They did have C/C++ style API representations too; They must be changing it all towards .NET now...

Sorry about that.

   Hi there. Hey,... got a question. There's a win32 api reference file for download on several locations. It's about 22 megs long and i was wondering if it's updated or sometihng because the file seems to haven't changed for years. If anyone knows of a more rececent version will he please let me know. Appreciated

i am learning that, if you are programming for xp, it is good to have an old one
ms is updating everything for windows 7, of course
but, some things are lost in the transition, because different os's have different levels of support

[xandaz]

   well....thanks again dedndave. You're the man. but hey....doesn't masm32v10 with xp?

Hi xandaz,

masm32v10 requires Win2000 or higher Windows versions.
