If on Windows, just use Win32 net apis.
1 line of code or 6 with COM

See rather the Microsoft sample.
16 years old... (beginner code for a so simple api, posted 10000 times on BBS & Usenet...)

On Windows, you don't need sockets; just use COM (10 lines of code)

This "code" has no sense at all (case, case, case... horrible !!!!)
It's done in 1 line of code with Win32 api (VK)

And what's the problem with that ?!
It's by far the best compiler/debugger on the market.
All Big Companies have VS 2008 Enterprise licences and nothing else. It's just unbeatable nowadays..

You're a complete noob. (Probably very , very young.. )
Newsgroups (Usenet) is by far the best place on the Web, for more than 20 years !
There are the greatest Win32 gurus, MS consultants, some of...

It's a very old Win16-Win32 FAQ, see (Win32 grp (http://tinyurl.com/yjy3ajr)) with EM

Wrong method.
Official method is with COM

No, you must use the GUI subsystem.

This has nothing to do with C++...
If on windows, to get current URL, use Win32 api (Shell and others)

Use Petzold code instead, 10 x better.

> google dint help

???
It's a win32 FAQ for about 15 years (!)
See on Win32 grp (ttp://tinyurl.com/cmhb5g) for classic code
to scan very quickly pixels with GDI or GDI+

It's easy to modify it with C and win32 api
ACDSee does that...

The Petzold is, by far, the best book and the C code is of course compatible with XP and Vista !
And for Advanced win32, see old Win32 group http://tinyurl.com/cmhb5g
(with Windows source code...)...

Never use system() on Windows.
Use Shell or Kernel apis.

????????
This "article" is a complete newbie and wrong code (!)
To get the pid, see the official sample in C in MSDN, with Win32 THelp

This code is wrong.
Initializing is missing and then it won't work on some OS SP...

Stop this spamming with fake question/answer and complete noob and wrong code (original code from MSDN has been posted 15 years ago !)
Read the Petzold to learn Windows programming.

Don't copy MSDN doc.
And it's not the right method (events)

Don't use OpenGL
All best actual games use DirectX (FarCry, etc..)
Download DirectX SDK and see the tons of samples inside

No.
Tutorial are not professional at all (by kids...)
Read Network Programming books (easy to find in ebook format)

On Windows, simply use the Chart control.

You don't need any code. (nearly..)
Conversion is native in Win32 (Shell or GDI apis)

See MSDN and Intel codes samples for RDTSC instead.
More than 10 years old...

On Windows, just use Win32 api (Net, 1 line of code)

On windows, you don't need anything.
Just use Win32 API (GDI, COM, etc).
You can do everything easily

You don't need hooks for that...

You don't need any hook (!)
Simply use Win32 System apis (2 lines of code to swap mouse buttons...)

This code is wrong (no recursive, no reparse points, etc)
See the official MS sample (SDK)

You absolutely dont need winsock to get infos from a web site (!)
Just use standard Win32 apis (Net, COM, and others)

Everything about Win32 api has been answered for 20 years on Win32 api group
Everything about Excel has been answered for 20 years on Excel group
etc...

Why reposting questions answered...

Yes, there are always Win32 apis for eveything
See on Win32 api group (news://nntp.aioe.org/comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32)

You can ask on professional Win32 api newsgroup
news://194.177.96.26/comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
where you can get the souce code for all the apis (documented and undocumented)...

Disabling Ctrl+Alt+Del is a FAQ on Adv. Win32 api ng for decades
(news://194.177.96.26/comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32)
And Disabling input like this is horrible. The official method is...

Your question has no sense.
Learn Win32 api and read MSDN.
There are just ... millions of code samples.

Nonsense.
Just blit with BitBlt() (!!!)

SDL is totally useless, as MP3 is native in Win32.
See MSDN samples to play MP3.
(3 lines of code with mci...)

If you've never tried, then try.
It takes 2 seconds...

The method is wrong.
Save it in jpeg, gif or png.
You can ask on specialized win32 api newsgroup :
news://194.177.96.26/comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
where it's a FAQ...
