<div class="textblock"><p><a class="anchor" id="md__r_e_a_d_m_e"></a> Provides templates and function helpers for Windows Win32 API using Standard C++ in Microsoft Visual C++ 2017-2022</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md1"></a>
Features</h1>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md2"></a>
Portable</h2>
<p>This project does not require building. Just <code>#include</code> individual files from this repository into your source code and get started.</p>
<h2><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md3"></a>
Memory and Resource Helper Classes</h2>
<p>Simplify memory and resource management. The classes release memory and resources automatically. They are like <em>smart-pointers</em> for various Windows resources. Once created, you use the class instance as a snap-in replacement for pointers/handles parameters in the standard Win32 API function calls.</p>
<h3><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md4"></a>
Example</h3>
<div class="fragment"><div class="line"> ++</div>
<div class="line"><span class="comment">// Load and set icon.</span></div>
<div class="line"><a class="code hl_class" href="classwinstd_1_1library.html">winstd::library</a> lib_shell32(LoadLibraryEx(_T(<span class="stringliteral">&quot;shell32.dll&quot;</span>), NULL, LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_DATAFILE | LOAD_LIBRARY_AS_IMAGE_RESOURCE));</div>
<div class="line"><span class="keywordflow">if</span> (!lib_shell32)</div>
<div class="line"> <span class="keywordflow">throw</span> <a class="code hl_class" href="classwinstd_1_1win__runtime__error.html">winstd::win_runtime_error</a>(<span class="stringliteral">&quot;LoadLibraryEx failed&quot;</span>);</div>

Functions and Templates</h2>
<p>Different Win32 API functions have different ways of returning variable-sized data. Getting tired of carefully studying MSDN for each particular Win32 API function how to preallocate the output memory correctly? We too...</p>
<p>WinStd provides a subset of Win32 API identically named functions (C++ polymorphism to the rescue), where one can use <code>std::string</code>, <code>std::wstring</code>, <code>std::vector&lt;&gt;</code> etc. as an output parameter. WinStd handles all the dirty work with memory allocation for you, so you can focus on your code.</p>

String Formatters</h2>
<p>For those situations where one must quckly compose a temporary string using <code><a class="el" href="group___win_std_str_format.html#gac397f655a858a069b3e521940af64331" title="Formats string using printf().">sprintf()</a></code> or <code>FormatMessage()</code>. Or, convert a GUID to a string on the fly.</p>

What WinStd Is Not</h1>
<p>WinStd is not trying to be a full-fledged object-oriented framework on top of Win32 API. We have Microsoft to publish those once every few years - and obsolete it when they loose interest. WinStd aims at augmenting Win32 API with a little bit of help from C++.</p>
<h1><a class="anchor" id="autotoc_md10"></a>
Usage</h1>
<ol type="1">
<li>Clone the repository into your solution folder.</li>
<li>Add WinStd's <code>include</code> folder to <em>Additional Include Directories</em> in your project's C/C++ settings.</li>
<li>Include <code>.h</code> files from WinStd as needed: <div class="fragment"><div class="line"> ++</div>

<p>An auto-generated documentation is <a href="https://amebis.github.io/WinStd/">here</a>.</p>
<p>More examples and use-cases can be found in <a href="https://github.com/Amebis/GEANTLink">GÉANTLink</a> and <a href="https://github.com/Amebis/ZRCola">ZRCola</a> projects source code. They make heavy use of WinStd. Examples can also be found in the <code>UnitTests</code> project.</p>
<p>This is a one-man project for the time being, so the Win32 API support is far from complete. It is added as needed. Contributions are welcome. </p>
