Welcome
Leech the tutorial and all sources and stuff
Jan 1999 update:
After writing this tutorial I've found that there is at least one bug somewhere
in the examples, but I'll leave that as an excersize for the reader :)
The tutorial was written before I laid my hands on Visual C, and thus the
owners of VC6 might wonder where they can find some help file or other.
Instead of using the old windows help system, microsoft uses a html-ish
help system in VC6 with better find system etc. Learn to use it. I wonder
why the whole help package (2 cds) didn't include any ansi C library helps..
Some people have been asking me to write more tutorials, like windows tricks
and directx.. after reading some "tutorials" out there (where "lesson" is
just a pile of non-commented code) I can see why. I might write a directx
tut someday if I can find the time.
Welcome to Sol's Windows coding tutorials. These tutorials are built for
a generic democoder in mind, by a person with heavy demo coding background.
Like most coding tutorials, this is a pile or more or less disorganized
mess, which is generally better than nothing, and may have some misleading
information. That's why I didn't say windows programming tutorial.
So, to be exact, this tutorial is built for a democoder, who's comfortable with
C, has some windows-capable C compiler installed with win95 and win32 SDK
installed as well.
This tutorial is NOT about C++, WinG, 16-bit windows, MFC, DirectX, hacking
windows, or any things like that. This is just a tutorial to build a working
win32 program.
I started coding windows stuff by first setting a target for myself. I wanted
a little window that will show a scope of sound sampled by windows, so that
I could see what some midis and stuff look like. I read asphynxia windows
tutorials, and on that base started coding and finding out stuff. I did make
that program, and it's running currently - but it only works with gravis
ultrasound PnP cards! (This is due to the fact that GUS PnP is, as far as I know,
the only sound card that supports multiple wave clients; with all others running
the program reserves the sound card and thus no sound can be played for it
to record).
Ever since I've read some 5 different windows programming manuals, only to
find out that I had found stuff out by myself quite well.
So, if you're like me, you'll scan through these tutorials and then go your
own way finding out stuff. If not, follow the tutorial.. the first chapter
doesn't have any code. I'll first have to explain some background.
Journey onwards
