Win32 Tutorials


My examples work with Win9x, WinSE, WinME, Win2000 and WinXP.

If you are new to Win32 API programming then I suggest you read my introduction to these tutorials and then download a copy of the Win32 Reference (5 Mb Download) before going on to the first tutorial on how to make a A Basic Window.

I am happy to respond to any questions regarding my programs but any general programming questions should be posted to the wiki below. For further help you could also go to #winprog on Efnet IRC where you can ask your Win32 related questions.

Merry Christmas All

I hope you all had a great 2009 and got a lot done, like getting out of debt, buying water filtration equipment, planting a heritage seed garden, pulling the plug on the television, talking to your neighbours about the nwo and putting a '911 was an inside job' sticker on your car. As if that isn't enough I also turned 41 this year and have teenagers! Basically what this means is that I am planning to have a nervous breakdown early in the new year and should be coherent sometime in May or early June. Perhaps this occurred while I was working on my cold fusion experiments and I am in denial, who can tell?

This site has had a bit of maintenance done to it but I wont promise that anything new will be added to it soon. If somebody would like tackle the enormous task of cataloguing my failed promises I would be grateful. This may mean I have the right stuff to be a successful politician. Just be sure to give me the Peace Prize within the first few months of office in case things "Change". But seriously, I look forward to adding a lot more to this site and pushing the frontiers of graphics programming but there are so many other important things going on that I must dedicate my time to setting up www.TranquilityLane.com as a resource for truthers everywhere. The first move will be to upload a blog script but I still don't know which direction to take the new site in so for now I will just start posting random snippets of information and let it evolve naturally. If none of this makes any sense to you simply google "building 7" and be amazed, or conned, the choice is yours.

Here comes 2010... all the best!

Hi All

Just a small update to release a modding utility for GTAIV. It is called IVTracker and allows you to search for almost any text within the thousands of texture files that come with the game. It should also be useful to modders that want to quickly find a particular building to edit within the hundreds of models (when the model editing utility becomes available) by simply searching for a sign on the building itself. You can get an idea of how time consuming this would be if done manually by looking at the data file here

I was very impressed by the quality and look of the city in GTAIV and believe this game will become one of the most modded games in history. My biggest disappointment with the game was the tone of the billboards and advertising around the city. Far from being amusing as was the case with San Andreas, they are grossly offensive and I believe the game content must have been authored by the accounting department, or worse... see these screenshots from GTAIV on my new website at www.TranquilityLane.com

I hope IVTracker will speed up the development of many new texture packs but to allow people to easily apply these textures to their game installation we still need another application. I have also been working on creating another utility called IVSwap that will take hundreds of textures and swap them into the image files at the click of a button rather than asking people to download very large image files or import hundreds of textures one at time. It is half completed but I didn't want IVTracker to sit on the shelf while I wrestle with the internals of the texture resources.
