Harness the FULL POWER of the Windows 32-bit Operating System!
This book covers every key element of the core Win32 API - from window management and drawing operations to advanced process control and interprocess communication techniques. Learn how to translate C/C++ -based Win32 documentation to Visual Basic, and how to port 16-bit apps to 32-bits.
The principles learned from this book translate to all versions of Visual Basic (4.x; 5.x; 6.x; VBA) and Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/2003/XP , and can be applied to 64-bit systems too. A true gem!
The CD ROM features the full text in Windows Help File Format, with video annotations by the author.
