Thread: Win32 in C++? (Is that what this tut is?)

http://www.relisoft.com/win32/winnie.html

I was searchin for some more win32 tutorials so i can get a broad band of learning of you will,

well i ran into that link. And by the source on that page,

Code:

#include <windows.h>


LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure
    (HWND hwnd, unsigned int message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);

class WinClass
{
public:
    WinClass (WNDPROC winProc, char const * className, HINSTANCE hInst);
    void Register ()
    {
        ::RegisterClass (&_class);
    }
private:
    WNDCLASS _class;
};

WinClass::WinClass
    (WNDPROC winProc, char const * className, HINSTANCE hInst)
{
    _class.style = 0;
    _class.lpfnWndProc = winProc; // window procedure: mandatory
    _class.cbClsExtra = 0;
    _class.cbWndExtra = 0;
    _class.hInstance = hInst;         // owner of the class: mandatory
    _class.hIcon = 0;
    _class.hCursor = ::LoadCursor (0, IDC_ARROW); // optional
    _class.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) (COLOR_WINDOW + 1); // optional
    _class.lpszMenuName = 0;
    _class.lpszClassName = className; // mandatory
}

(Just a snipplet)
Now correct me if i am wrong, but it looks like this is a win32 setup redesigned to be in C++?
Can someone check this page out (who knows more about win32) and tell me if it has everything it should?
If so id much rather use this method because i know very little C (its format is just foreign) and C++ format would be much nicer to deal with.

Thanks to any replies!

kool, cuz i was taking the forgers tutorial, and it seems very complete (not too far into it yet though), but the whole C structuring of everything just kinda made it a bit odd to me.

oh im getting the forges tutorial, infact i think he explains it more clearly. And i'v come used to the c syntax but i just dont like the overall structure. So for learning i'll do them both, but when im creating mini projects of my own imma use that lovely C++ snytax heh

>>own imma use that lovely C++ snytax heh

Once you have the basics then look at MFC (MS Foundation Classes)

MFC is a framework that allows rapid WIN32 dev allowing you to concerntrate on the C++ (rather than the WIN32)

rapid Win32 development? so far win32 has been pretty straight forward, is MFC just a streamlined Win32?

Also, i keep reading about Resource Visual Editors and whatnot, as aposed to editing resource dialogs by hand (text), Does Dev C++ have this? And what is it exactly? A way of drag dropping items in dialogs?
