What is Win 2 API? I think it is same as Win 32. Also if you are a beginner, as being wasted enough time in Win 32 programming, I can tell you that the best thing for learning Windows programming is buying a VERY VERY HARD book. Stop searching net. Because in the time you will see(maybe you had already seen) that in fact Windows programming is like copying-pasting and modifying the source codes that you find from somewhere else. At least it was like that for me. So, there is really nothing that you can do after some modifications. In my opinion, Win 32 programming is NOT really programming, because there is an optimal way of doing something under windows and you can do this if and only if you know Windows architecture very well, or you can buy the book full of examples that you need, copy-paste them and do your job. So I think Windows programming cannot be a purpose of a programmer, do not bother learning Windows Programming, learn it like HTML, I mean let yourself learn it in the time... But if you still want to program Windows, I advise you: Win32 Programming by Brent Rector & Joseph Newcomer. Becuase it is massive book(it is a real book, not like other stupid money wasting ones, does not rely on MFC a lot -although the examples are in MFC) and it has all the information you need. Also I think you should stop looking for sources on the net and use only the book and MSDN Library. It is enough for you about API definitions and also it has lots of examples. I am sorry for messing this thread up but I had to vomit my hate onto Windows and Win32 programming. Very very sorry... :'(

following indocumented features/api....

there's nothing like having the source for your OS
