Advanced Win32 Application Programming is the completion of an in-depth, low-level look at developing and debugging applications written for the Win32 Programming Interface.  As with the Win32 API class, the intent is to understand the underlying philosophy and methods of direct API programming so that programmers can not only use system functions, but also use higher level tools more expertly.

Upon completion of the course, students should be able to:

• Create and use application resources like pop-up menus, icons, cursors, keyboard accelerators, and modeless dialog boxes.
• Manipulate bitmaps, fonts, paths, and other GUI components.
• Use modern interface controls like toolbars and property sheets.
• Communicate between processes using Dynamic Data Exchange and pipes.
• Implement Multiple Document Interface applications.
• Control virtual memory.
• Interact with the Registry.
• Use the system’s Structured Exception Handling capabilities
