What is the difference between using CreateWindow() with the WS_VISIBLE flag set, versus using CreateWindow() without that flag and then ShowWindow()?
Also is there a way to change the red text color? I find it hard to read.
Note: I had the flag in all caps in the thread title, but it changed it to sentence case for some reason.
No difference, but there are instances where you wouldn't want to show the window the moment it's created.
You need HPEN for that, if I remember correctly. Here's MSDN's link on pens and brushes.:Also is there a way to change the red text color? I find it hard to read.
Creating Colored Pens and Brushes (Windows)
Devoted my life to programming...
There is no difference. You use the first one to immediately show a window and the second one to first populate the window with all the required child controls avoiding flickering or showing controls in "waves".
As for the Red text color are you referring to the forums colors or something else?
