Title: Is there any win32 API material indexed by functions categorized ?
Post by: Alexander on July 28, 2011, 08:46:33 AM
Hi ,

Is there any win32 API guidance indexed by functionalities categorized ? For example, there are X chapters, chapter 1 is for I/O all the APIs about I/O will be included in this chapter, chapter 2 is for network and so forth.

Thanks

Alex,

Se if you can find the old WIN32.HLP file. It tends to bundle API functions together in category. If you are running a very late version of Windows you will need to download the winhelp package from Microsoft to use it, XP handles it fine.

I'd recommend the online MSDN Library its categorized.

Probably a bit on the old side, but was a good reference at the time, and categorized. These days if I'm confused, or want syntax on some of the more obscure ones, I'll just Google the function.
