If you haven't written a PM window class from scratch before, don't worry.
The samples will guide you, and it isn't that difficult. If you know what
a window procedure is, and if you know the difference between an owner and
a parent window and WinSendMsg
and WinPostMsg
,
you should be fine. Of course, the more you know, the better.
Also, you can use any C compiler you want. Even EMX/GCC should do.
The only &xwp; code that is required are the headers that you are including,
which now come with the &xwp; binary distribution (in the toolkit
directory).
If you get lost, you can always download the
complete &xwp; source code,
where you will find the source code for the standard plug-in DLLs which come
with &xwp; (the window list and the clock and memory monitors), which show
you in detail how it's done.
