Talk:Windows API/to do
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- give some info on the .net framework and WinFX and it's relation to the Windows API
- check the compiler support section for facts and add references
- expand some of the Versions entries a bit, and make them a bit more uniform
- reword the leader slightly (I still think it could be clearer, maybe by giving some short examples of what it does, understandable to non programmer windows users)
- add a paragraph on the win16->win32 move in the API and the introduction of a 64-bit version of the API to the history section
- add a short section on "the anatomy of an average Windows API application", just going through the basic concepts, like:
- the message based system you have in the WinAPI, with callback functions and everything
- the object-oriented inspired window classes system
- exactly what a "window" is in the context of the WinAPI (just about everything from windows to buttons)
- emphasis on short, this should not get to "function names" level, like it was before
