# Windows classic samples
|
|
|
|
This repo contains samples that demonstrate
|
|
the API used in Windows classic desktop applications.
|
|
|
|
**Note**. You can use Microsoft Visual Studio to search the entire set of source code here to see whether the usage of a particular Windows API is being demonstrated. Clone this repo (or download the ZIP) to your local file system. Then **Find in Files** in Visual Studio, set **Look in** to the folder you cloned or downloaded into, and search for an API name. You can install [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) without expense. A Community edition is available—it's free for students, open-source contributors, and individuals.

|
|
These samples demonstrate the functionality and programming model
|
|
for Windows and Windows Server.
|
|
This repo contains Visual Studio solution (SLN) files for each sample,
|
|
along with the source files, assets, resources, and metadata
|
|
needed to compile and run the sample.
|
|
For more info about the programming models, platforms, languages,
|
|
and APIs demonstrated in these samples,
|
|
check out the documentation on the
|
|
[Windows Dev Center](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=532421).
|
|
|
|
Most of these samples were created
|
|
for Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and/or Windows Server 2012 R2
|
|
using Visual Studio 2013,
|
|
but some were created with earlier versions,
|
|
or with specific SKU and other requirements.
|
|
In many cases, the samples will also work on later versions than the ones indicated.
|
|
If you cannot get a sample to work as expected,
|
|
it might have platform, version, or SKU-specific requirements.
|
|
If you have any issues with the samples, please provide feedback using the Issues list.
