This is probably the best tutorial to get started on GUI programming with winAPI 32, I really appreciate you for doing this, thanks man ♥

[zookaroo]

I know how you feel that stuttering when teaching. You did a great job and that helps me a lot. I appreciate all of your works, keep it on

[vros]

The most comprehensive guide I've found so far. Thanks so much man, appreciate it.

youre a great teacher, you explain everything well unlike microsoft. thank you!

[Brock-Landers]

Just a side note about all the strcat usage, your can format your strings very easy with sprintf. It works just like printf but takes a destination char* as it's first argument. It's strcat on steroids. Nice to see someone still teaching Win32 API. Most of my stuff that I write on windows 10 runs fine on windows 95, and with very little mods will run on windows 3.1 after compiling to 16 bit. C#, Java, Python and all that other slow garbage can rarely run on other machines without having the user download runtime engines and fat DLLs.

For those who has a problem with a char:

case GENERATE_BUTTON:
char name[30], age[10], out[50];
GetWindowTextA(hName, name, 30);
GetWindowTextA(hAge, age, 10);

strcpy_s(out, name);
strcat_s(out, " is ");
SetWindowTextA(hOut, out);
strcat_s(out, age);
strcat_s(out, " years old.");
SetWindowTextA(hOut, out);

break;

Thank you so much for these tutorials, I just watched all 4 of them today. I am working on a summer research project and none of us know how to develop for windows, but your videos have been very helpful. When do you plan on releasing the next one?

[gorgar]

Very good tutorial! Thank you very much!!

[rokasb]

If you are getting in GENERTE_BUTTON case, (int GetWindowTextW(HWND, LPWSTR, int)': cannot convert argument 2 from 'char [20]' to 'LPWSTR' or simmilar to this) change GetWindowText to GetWindowTextA

Mate can you help me with one thing?
I have a Direct2D Render Target rendering on my Win32 Application. How can I overlay a Text Box or Edit Control on top of the Render Target?

[Chanchal_Singla]

I face a problem in edit control when I type any character it doesn't show in edit window box

[williamweidner]

excellent tutorial series so far


problem at 20:14


I'm having an error where the successful build does not generate the text in the box below.


I get errors that say the strcpy and strcat functions are unsafe, and they recommend using the postfix "_s". but it makes no difference, and when I remove the postfix, I get error C4996 for those four functions.



any recommended fixes?

14:01 just to know that these are called macros, not constants
before compilation, the program replaces marcos with the defined text
