There are two different programs which come in this *.zip file. One of them is about User-Feedback. The other code is about using edit boxes. This also comes with a really great e-book on: “Writing your first dialog based application using Visual C++.” I strongly recommend you read this e-book if you are just starting to program in Visual C++ (Uses MFC).

This program is a simple Menu which uses the UP, DOWN, PGUP, PGDN, ESC and ENTER keys. You can use is to create more then one menu with the same code.

This code illustrates the use of the combo box control with no MFC.

This program displays a message in a small default Windows message box along with an icon. It performs no other function.

This program changes the plain window from App #3 into a text editing window. No text editing features are added, just the ones already built into the text edit control given in the Win32 API. It's a simple example of using a child window within a regular window. It performs no other function.

This program adds a toolbar without modification to the cWindow class. This program also incorporates a menu and a text edit client area. When the user clicks on the On/Off icon, a different message is displayed in the client area. This program performs no other function (at least, any useful function).

It's an example of using a few controls on a dialog box. The program doesn't really do anything useful.

A class for creating Windows, Buttons, Edit boxes, and Multiline Edit boxes. It is very simple to use, and later I will add more types(Listbox, static(label), frame, etc). I included project files for Brland C++ Builder 5, and MS Visual C++ 6.

Just a skeleton to look out when building yours. So you can remember how each part goes into the window skeleton using the platform SDK. My friend asked for this.

This source code will show you how to setup your program to be able to minimize to the system tray, or to make a program that runs from the system tray. Shows how you can make a menu (not from resource), and then have it popup when they right click, or double click the icon in the system tray. Fully commented so you can understand.

A small app that demonstrates the use of accelerators. (Win32 api code, no MFC or VCL)

How to use 'Regions' to create different shaped windows.

Demonstrates how to make a hyperlink, no subclassing or mouse capturing, and the result is a proper looking hyperlink...really easy! Also includes a statusbar if anyone's interested. (win32 API code, heaps of comments)

Simple program to show how the change the text color of a static/label window. Also how to use the Font common dialog to change the font. Written with only Win32/Platform SDK (ie. no MFC or VCL)

Simple Win32 program to demonstrate the shell 'Select Directory' browse dialog. This is useful when you want the user to select a directory, rather than a specific file. It is not as well documented as the 'Open File' common dialog in the win32 help. It took me a while to find it.

This code shows how to use buttons, editboxes and checkboxes in windows.

This was originally written for rent-a-coder, but since the buyer never accepted any of the bids I decided to post it here. It's really limited but it shows how to use functions and if... else loops. It also shows how to used enum to make a simple menu. You could make a menu without enum, but enum makes it easier to code and to maintain

This code will create an additional button beside the Min, Max and Close buttons! The shape, colours, and image can all be changed to suit your own style.

This example is built from the example I wrote to add color to your controls, it nows lets you change the font also. Code that is new is marked off by comments, this also shows you how to use the ChooseFont common dialog. As always this is pure win32 API, no MFC here.

This example shows how to make windows, list boxes, buttons and edit controls. Not only does it show how to make them but it shows how to use them as well. This example enables XP Themes and keyboard navigation. I'd like feedback, good or bad, so please give some! This sample works on all Win32 computers and only enables themes if they are supported by the current user operating system.
