win32 help
Author
I recently attempted to work with the win32 API again and I'm going through the tutorials well however they show how to make things but they dont clearly explain what each peice of code does. My main questions at the moment are;
1.what does WNDCLASSEX do?
2.
WNDCLASSEX wc;
wc.cbSize
wc.style
wc.lpfnWndProc
wc.cbClsExtra
wc.cbWndExtra
wc.hInstance
wc.hIcon
wc.hCursor
wc.hbrBackground
wc.lpszMenuName
wc.lpszClassName
wc.hIconSm
with that code is WNDCLASSEX creating a window class and are the cbSize etc variable data for that window or what do they do?
That's all thats really bugging me at the moment if you could clear it up that would be great :D
It's just a structure. They are data members of the WNDCLASSEX structure and you fill them in to layout the appearance and behavior of the window(s) you'll be creating with it. Then, you Register(&wc) the window, and then you call CreateWindow() to create the actual window.

MSDN does.
