Pickled Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/This is a good place to learn about programming c++.Which in turn will lead on to the more complex subject of manipulating the windows api stuff.

I did best learning the WINAPI in pascal. I haven't done it for a while though so I proberbly forgots bout the ting with the params in WindowCreateEX. I barely remember the first one. Actually, having said that the Ex Style paramter just shot itself into my temporary memory. Along with the title as the seccond one. Actually, maybe I can recall it all. Hmmmmmm.

Pickled Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) Well I certainly recommend getting the fundamentals of a proper language down before anything , thats for sure... these languages are so "strongly" written compared to say a basic AutoIT syntax, I know I would probably cut my wrists without any fundamentals trying to suss out a Windows API with next to no knowledge of c++ Edited March 6, 2005 by Pickled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

igmeou Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 (edited) Thanks guys! I'll start reading your guides now. Hope to have a crash course soon. But is there any reference webpages where it shows the syntex of some standard win32 DLL functions so that I'll know what type and parameters to put when using DLLCALL in autoIT?

steveR Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 The API-Guide will show you what is needed. Also you look at the MSDN site but it takes a while to figure out where stuff is.http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.....asp?frame=true AutoIt3 online docs Use it... Know it...

igmeou Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks guys. I through looking at the links that your directed me to. Personally, I feel that learning though vb(by steveR's link) is better for a beginner like me. But is there a place where i could find out how to used the existing windows dll(eg. cards.dll,user43.dll,kernel32.dll,etc...) in a go? Currently, i have to go google to search the individual dll to find out 1 by 1. Is there a easiler method? :"> [font="Arial"]Thanks[/font]If @error = me Then $sorry Else Do $clarifyMe Until $meClear EndIF MsgBox(0,"Special Message!","Special Thanks to " & $allHadReplied,$Forever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
