I am totally new to windows programming and have no experience with oop.
However, I am thoroughly familiar with standard pascal. The manuals that come
with Turbo Pascal for Windows are jam packed with Windows programming info. But
there is no "how to" section and there is no explanation of general concepts.
Does anyone know of a concise book that will do the above for me, since I do
want to go further than just "Hello" program. {I do understand that} If the
book is designed for TPW that would be a bonus.
In addition, as my first project I am trying to write a program that
will change the default cursor from an arrow to something else. I have created
a ".res" file with the icon in it and I have linked it. {$R} I then tried to
access the cursor in the res file with: loadcursor, setcursor, changecursor, and
none of these seemed to work? (I may have the syntax all wrong} Any help with
this project will be appreciated. (You know what they say: the best way to
learn how to program is to look at how other people get things done)
Thank you in advance.
