BTW, has MS taken down their API reference from the MSDN website? I was looking for the Win32 API reference on the MSDN web-site (to try and fix the regression tests), but I couldn't find them. As far as I can remember, it was available from MSDN Home --> MSDN Library --> Windows Development --> Win32 API ... but there's only a sample chapter from a book there now.
Cheers,
It's still there, just spread out a lot.
Depends on what you are looking for. Usually, what I would do is type in the "search" area the name of the function, and then click on the link (careful not to click where the URL has something along the lines of "ceui", because that's windows CE). From there, everything is cross referenced, and you can click the "up".
Doh! Mails crossed each other. Almost the same wording though...
The paths to other functions have become much much much much much less convinent, but I believe the same has also happened to the latest MSDNs on CD - they are horrible user interface, to the point where you would usually rather use the online site (or an old MSDN CD). It's really interesting how MS's UI is deteriorating as time goes on (with the sole exception of Win 3.11->Win95). I have had to spend one day with Windows XP (install a friend's computer), and spent the entire time cursing about the UI.
I tried a few times to get to the Win32 API through the menus on the left. Sometimes I would get there, sometimes not. So I gave up, and now use the search method. Never used an MSDN CD, but your comment doesn't make me want to use one.
