Enhancing QuickWin Programs

The simplest QuickWin program is input and ouput directed to a single window that supports a standard set of menu commands. However, you can customize a QuickWin program to:

Display your own message in the program's About dialog box

Use multiple windows

Control the size of the buffer storing text in the window

Yield control to Windows messages

Size/move windows on the screen

These specialized routines are located in the IO.H header file. This file must be included if your program uses these routines.

For reference information on these routines, see online help.
