This is the classic guide to Microsoft programming for Windows--considered
by application developers for Windows to be the programming "bible" And
now all of Charles Petzold's great sample programs come on an accompanying
disk! The disk contains more than 1.2 MB of source code, EXE files, and
utilities to help readers explore and fully understand Windows' use of
input devices, memory, graphics, and color. All programs are compilable
with either Microsoft or Borland C/C++ compilers in both C and C++ modes.

* Reading Input. Working with input from the keyboard and the mouse; using
the timer and the child window controls.
