All-In-One Windows 7 Code Samples
All-In-One Windows 7 Code Samples
Introduction
Windows 7 provides many new programmable features, e.g. the new Taskbar, the Shell Library, the service trigger-start feature. The All-In-One Windows 7 code samples demonstrate the typical programming topics about Windows 7. These topics are either frequently asked in MSDN forums and Microsoft Support, or are requested by many developers via our code sample request function. We want to alleviate the frustration felt by developers when they are leveraging Windows 7 new features in applications.
