Weird WinAPI problem
sethjackson:
Yeah I agree with TDragon. Win32 API programming is a mess. I used to use it..... Until I found wxWidgets. wxWidgets does make GUI programming fun. :D
Vampyre_Dark:
I think it's only a mess when you are new to it. :? You learn to do a cleaner job in time. My first win32 programs were messes all over the place, because I was new to it, and I didn't understand it as much. After you've been usng it awhile, you start to understand more how everything works together, and it becomes more clean and organised as a result.
sethjackson:
:lol: I used it for two years, and I still think it was a mess. :P

@TDragon: Indeed I wanted to use the predefined "STATIC" "BUTTON" etc. But I reckon I would be best to get a book too. Does anyone of you know a good one?
sethjackson:
Yes.

Old, but good. I don't have it anymore. Ditched it after I started using wxWidgets.
