I found that I had an array of characters char[1024][256]. I have now changed it to char[256][256], and the bug seems to have gone away. Thanks. I am very sorry to take up your time. When I am developing a program, once in a while I make a backup copy of its source form files.

There is something truly sublime about that code. :)

No thanks. You should report it to Microsoft though.

Use GetWindowRect and GetClientRect to find those two values. The difference is the size of the frame portion. You can then calculate your required client size, add that to the frame sizes to get your new window size.

Many mice have a scroll wheel which is also the middle button. If you have such a mice, just try to press the wheel instead of scrolling it. So only the simplest / cheapest mice have only two buttons. Many even have more than three buttons nowadays.

When the function is called again, all of the context information is pushed onto the stack and the new function call starts. When the function unwinds, the most recent context information is popped from the stack and the function picks up where it left off. This is all handled automatically by the system.

Each project is part of a Solution (top folder in the tree), which may contain other projects. So you can build/rebuild/clean only a particular project, or every project in the Solution.

Charles Petzold's book was a bible for low level C WinAPI for quite a long time - and still applies today. It isn't geared towards Windows 8 - but will get you up and running... http://www.charlespetzold.com/pw5/[^]

You are confusing UTF-8 and UTF-16. Both use variable length representation for characters, though with UTF-16, common languages are represented with two bytes, with things like musical notes and cuneiform in the escaped range. See the following: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16[^]

Inkscape. Two tools that have far more than I need. Draw the vector art in Inkscape, export to a png at the appropriate resolution, clean-up and save as ICO using Gimp. Multiple icons are simply multiple layers in an ico file. Unbeatable price and upgrade policies, that's for sure!
