PBwin 10 bare window in SDK style.

[hutch--]

You can write basic like crayon scribblings and it will more often than not work OK but you can write the real McCoy[tm] in standard SDK style if you prefer that style of code.

Here is a simple example of a bare window with an icon, manifest file and a version control block as well as the option to build it as either ANSI or UNICODE.

Bleh! Who follows coding standards? I would rather stick with my crayon scribbles and macaroni art. :bg

< I would rather stick with my crayon scribbles and macaroni art.

I would not have said so but I will take your word for it.  :P

[dedndave]

i have to ask...
why not just write it in asm ?

[hutch--]

Well, it is high level code but in the case of direct Windows API functions, the ASM notation its not of any advantage.
