Windows Programming

Notes
Example: Examples would be WM_CLOSE or WM_ACTIVATE.
The wParam and lParam arguments can be supplementary (Win32) messages.

The WinExec() function is used to execute an application. Its syntax is:
UINT WinExec(LPCSTR lpCmdLine, UINT uCmdShow);
The lpCmdLine argument states the name or path of the application you want to exhibit. The
uCmdShow states how the application should be exhibited. It utilizes the same values as the
CWnd::ShowWindow() member function.
