Summary
The functional areas of the Win32 API described in this chapter provide an initial foundation for understanding the composition and capabilities of the API. This chapter has provided a hand full of examples associated within these functional areas illustrating how to use Win32 API calls, callbacks, and structures. It has armed you with the essentials, but it has only scratched the surface of what the API can provide.
You are encouraged to explore, experiment, and use the Win32 API to create better applications and components , resulting in greater choice and satisfaction for Windows users. When either a desired capability is not provided by a VCL, or when performance can be vastly improved by using the Win32 API, look to see what the API offers. Keep in mind that each Windows release and Internet Explorer update potentially introduces even more capabilities and features that you can easily take advantage of with C++Builder.
