Easy API search on MSDN via Google

[Edwin Knoppert]

I am using a similar technique to obtain links via Google about API calls.

For example:

[url]http://www.google.nl/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=site:msdn.microsoft.com+GetDlgItem&btnG=Google+Search[/url]

Just change GetDlgItem for your desired API call.

I find that a peculiar way to search considering MSDN has a search right at the top of the page AND you can narrow it down to Win32/COM right on the search.

Example usage is pretty thin at MSDN and, for me, the learning curve is less steep in most cases if there is some. So, if no examples I go to Google Search Code. The code found is almost invariably written in 'C' but I suspect most of can read 'C' even though we may struggle to write it.
