Talk:Windows API/to do

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  • Describe the relationship of Windows API to .net and WinFX
  • Check the compiler support section for accuracy and add references
  • Rework the leader so that it contains only high-level info; focus on the non-programmer reader; move low-level info into suitable sections (after the leader)
  • In the history section, describe/expand on transition from win16 to win32 and then win64

  • [bad idea: this page is _not_ about a GUI Windows application; Windows API can be used for a non-graphical Windows program so describing GUI is too detailed for this page] add a short section on the anatomy of an average Windows API application, just going through the basic concepts, like:
    • message based system with callback functions and everything
    • object-oriented inspired window classes system
    • exactly what a window is in the context of the WinAPI (everything from desktop windows to buttons)
    • keep is short -- should not get to function name level like it was before
      • link "Windows API Code Pack for Microsoft .NET Framework is a .Net wrapper library for Windows API." no longer exists as of 2/10/2016
