Create simple windowing programs using Visual Studio 2017

Currently for use VS2017 Creating windows is a little difficult , however , It has been proved by some examples of open source code , There is still a very simple way .

You can create some simple window programs with simple code . This is especially suitable for the development of some small tools , For large projects , It still needs professional tools .

Let me introduce the method to you ：

1. Use the Project menu to create a Windows Application The program , And select the blank item .

2. In the newly-built project , Create a “DIALOG” Dialog resources for .

3. Create a new one source Of CPP file , And add the following code to it ( Remember in CPP Add the header file of resources to the file )

#include "resource.h"

#include <Windows.h>

BOOL CALLBACK dialogproc(HWND h, UINT m, WPARAM w, LPARAM l)
{
	switch (m) {
	case WM_COMMAND:
		switch (LOWORD(w)) {

			case IDCANCEL:
				MessageBox(h, L"IDCANCEL", L"tip", 48);
				DestroyWindow(h);
				return 1;
			case IDOK:
				MessageBox(h, L"now test", L"tip", 48);
				return 1;
		}
	case WM_INITDIALOG:
		MessageBox(h, L"WM_INITDIALOG", L"tip", 48);
		break;

	case WM_DESTROY:
		MessageBox(h, L"WM_DESTROY", L"tip", 48);
		break;
	}
	return 0;
}

int PASCAL WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
	// main dialog
	DialogBox(hInstance, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_DIALOG1), NULL, &dialogproc);

	return 0;
}
