Document Conventions
The Win32 Programmer's Reference uses the following document conventions.
Convention
| Description
| monospace
| Indicates source code, structure syntax, examples, user input, and program
output. For example: ptbl->SortTable(pSort, TBL_BATCH);
| Bold
| Indicates a function, structure, macro, interface, method, data type, or other
keyword in Win32, the OLE application programming interface, C, or C++.
| Italic
| Indicates placeholders, most often function or method parameters; these
placeholders stand for information that must be supplied by the implementation or the
user. In addition, italics are used to highlight the first use of terms and to
emphasize meaning.
| UPPERCASE
| Indicates flags, return values, and properties. In addition addition to
standard C-language conventions, uppercase letters indicate filenames, segment names,
registers, and terms used at the operating-system command level.
| [ ]
| Indicates optional syntax items. Type only the syntax within the brackets, not
the brackets themselves.
|
Note The interface syntax in this book follows the variable-naming convention
known as Hungarian notation, invented by the programmer Charles Simonyi. Variables
are prefixed with lowercase letters that indicate their data type. For
example, lpszProfileName is a long pointer to a zero-terminated string name ProfileName. For more information about Hungarian notation, see Programming Windows 95 by Charles Petzold.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
