> This isn't actually true though. You can delegate to the default window proc, and only customise what you want. Yeah that was my memory of doing this stuff. You basically just added what you wanted to the case statement (or other hooks depending on your framework). Then dump the rest onto the default proc. The default 'wizards' usually made the standard petzold structure for you and you didnt even really have to think much about it. Now if you were doing everything by yourself just make sure you read the docs and make sure you call the default in the right cases. |

Of course absolutely ancient, but once you learn how to read them, they're very comprehensive.
And the 3rd party content written about win32 is pretty evergreen. I regularly find articles written in the '90s that are helpful today. The beauty of an incredibly stable API, and documentation written before everyone had the internet.
Just like the frontend dev ecosystem. Wait...
