Welcome to theForger's Win32 API Tutorial This tutorial attempts to get you started developing with the Win32 API as quickly and clearly as possible. Download Full Example Code The tutorial text does not include full source code listings, you will need to download this .zip if you want to compile the completed examples. This tutorial is meant to be read as a whole Please read it from beginning to end before asking questions... most of them will probably be answered. Each section builds on the sections before it. I have also added some solutions to common errors in Appendix A. If you ask me a question that is answered on this page, you will look very silly.
