1. 7 months ago Fernando Echeverrigaray posted a comment on discussion dev-cpp-users. Hi james, how did you do to perform and set the parameters? Or you used CMD of the Windows?
2. I needed help with using the windows.h header file in C. I see people using windows.h in their programs to (obviously) interact with windows, but I don't know how to use it. Specifically, is there a website that lists and describes the methods and functions in the windows.h header file.

Mar 28, 2013  In this video I will show you how to create a simple, editable text box, and then collect whatever the user enters in the box using windows.h / win32api / winuser.h and C. If you want a number.

windows.h is a Windows-specific header file for the C and C++ programming languages which contains declarations for all of the functions in the Windows API, all the common macros used by Windows programmers, and all the data types used by the various functions and subsystems. It defines a very large number of Windows specific functions that can be used in C. The Win32 API can be added to a C programming project by including the <windows.h> header file and linking to the appropriate libraries. To use functions in xxxx.dll, the program must be linked to xxxx.lib (or libxxxx.dll.a in MinGW). Some headers are not associated with a .dll but with a static library (e.g. scrnsave.h needs scrnsave.lib).

Child header files[edit]

There are a number of child header files that are automatically included with windows.h. Many of these files cannot simply be included by themselves (they are not self-contained), because of dependencies.

windows.h may include any of the following header files:

• excpt.h – Exception handling
• stdarg.h – variable-argument functions (standard C header)
• windef.h – various macros and types
• winnt.h – various macros and types (for Windows NT)
• basetsd.h – various types
• guiddef.h – the GUID type
• ctype.h – character classification (standard C header)
• string.h – strings and buffers (standard C header)
• winbase.h – kernel32.dll: kernel services; advapi32.dll:kernel services(e.g. CreateProcessAsUser function), access control(e.g. AdjustTokenGroups function).
• winerror.h – Windows error codes
• wingdi.h – GDI (Graphics Device Interface)
• winuser.h – user32.dll: user services
• winnls.h – NLS (Native Language Support)
• wincon.h – console services
• winver.h – version information
• winreg.h – Windows registry
• winnetwk.h – WNet (Windows Networking)
• winsvc.h – Windows services and the SCM (Service Control Manager)
• imm.h – IME (Input Method Editor)

Extra includes[edit]

• cderr.h – CommDlgExtendedError function error codes
• commdlg.h – Common Dialog Boxes
• dde.h – DDE (Dynamic Data Exchange)
• ddeml.h – DDE Management Library
• dlgs.h – various constants for Common Dialog Boxes
• lzexpand.h – LZ (Lempel-Ziv) compression/decompression
• mmsystem.h – Windows Multimedia
• nb30.h – NetBIOS
• rpc.h – RPC (Remote procedure call)
• shellapi.h – Windows Shell API
• wincrypt.h – Cryptographic API
• winperf.h – Performance monitoring
• winresrc.h – used in resources
• winsock.h – Winsock (Windows Sockets), version 1.1
• winspool.h – Print Spooler
• winbgim.h – Standard graphics library

OLE and COM[edit]

• ole2.h – OLE (Object Linking and Embedding)
• objbase.h – COM (Component Object Model)
• oleauto.h – OLE Automation
• olectlid.h – various GUID definitions

Macros[edit]

Several macros affect the behavior of windows.h.

• UNICODE – when defined, this causes TCHAR to be a synonym of WCHAR instead of CHAR, and all type-generic API functions and messages that work with text will be defined to the -W versions instead of the -A versions. (It is similar to the windows C runtime's _UNICODE macro.)
• RC_INVOKED – defined when the resource compiler (RC.EXE) is in use instead of a C compiler.
• WINVER – used to enable features only available in newer operating systems. Define it to 0x0501 for Windows XP, and 0x0600 for Windows Vista.
• WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN – used to reduce the size of the header files and speed up compilation. Excludes things like cryptography, DDE, RPC, the Windows Shell and Winsock.

DEV-C++ is a fully-featured integrated development environment (IDE) for creating, debugging and creating applications written in a popular C++ programming language. Even though tools for the development of C++ software have undergone countless upgrades over the years, a large number of developers located all around the world have expressed a wish to continue using DEV-C++. This IDE platform has proven itself as highly reliable and intuitive, giving developers access to all of their necessary tools, in-depth debugging, and most importantly, a stable error-free environment for the development of apps of all sizes – from small school tasks to large business projects intended for both internal and public use.
The app is an open-source IDE environment, offering software solutions and the necessary tools for C++ app development. However, be aware that its toolset is focused more on novices and basic programming, and that open source community has not updated its toolset for a considerable time. Still, what is present in its latest version represents a highly-capable C++ IDE that could be used for years without encountering any issue.

Dev Cpp Windows 7

If you are a novice, are a student who wants to create C++ project in a stable and easy to use software environment, or even if you are a seasoned programmer who wants to access C++ programming inside small IDE that will not strain your computer resources, DEV-C++ represents a perfect choice. It has all the required tools and feature sets for creating small to mid-sized apps.
It runs on all modern versions of Windows and can be used without any restrictions for free. It was originally developed as an open-source fork of the Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE.

Installation and Use

How To Use Windows.h In Dev C++

Even though DEV-C++ is filled with advanced compiler, debugger and a wide array of dev tools, it’s installation package is quite small (only around 50 MB) and therefore can be easily installed on any modern Windows PC or laptop. Just follow the onscreen instructions, and in mere seconds DEV C plus plus will be ready for running. Other more developed modern IDE environments, on the other hand, require much more storage space, and their installation can run for minutes.
Once up and running, you will be welcomed in a user-friendly interface that can be additionally customized to better fit your needs. The main window of the app follows the basic structure of many other modern IDE environments, with top row of dropdown menus and buttons that are shortcuts to its many built-in tools, a large vertical three-tabbed area for managing Projects, Classes and Debug listings, and of course, the main project area (with support for tabs) where you can start programming your apps. Both the app and the current project can be customized extensively. App Options window features tabs for Genera, Fonts, Colors, Code Insertion, Class Browsing, and Autosave customizations. Environment Options feature tabs for General, Directories, External Programs, File Associations, and CVS support customization.
