  • [Jeffrey, Please update this excellent book for Windows 10 and include native WinRT material]
    I tried unsuccessfully to add Windows Vista/7/8/8.1/10 manifest dependencies to 'CmnHdr.h' and instead added an '.manifest' XML manifest file relocating the existing 'Microsoft.Windows.Common-Controls' manifest dependency to keep these in together. Can this be done using 'CmnHdr.h' instead?
    'VerifyVersionInfo' is to be replaced with the new 'Version Helper' functions etc...

  • Does the zip file for the source code for the book Windows via C/C++ still exist somewhere? I recently obtained a copy of this book and would like to have the companion source code.
    Thanks,
