Ok, I'm off to install the SDK from the PowerBASIC CD and will investigate some of the information I've seen discussed today. Are there any particular tips on starting? Will there be an introductory help file with examples? Will I be at MSDN a lot? I guess I'll see shortly. You know I'll post questions if I have them!
One obvious learning exercise is for me to take some of the common control DDT source code examples I've been writing and put them side-by-side with the equivalent SDK code. That should make the differences obvious, exposing how much PowerBASIC does behind the scenes.
Not that I'm too lazy, but has anyone already done such a comparison table? Of all 22 controls discussed in PowerBASIC Help? If not, then I'll do it the old fashioned way - myself!

Code:
