"Windows编程模式：从MS-DOS到Windows的转变"

The Windows programming model differs from old-style batch-oriented or transaction-oriented programming, regardless of the development tools used. Understanding Windows fundamentals is essential to begin programming for this platform. The well-known MS-DOS programming model will be used as a frame of reference. Even if one is not currently programming for plain MS-DOS, familiarity with it is common. In the MS-DOS programming model, when writing an application in C, the sole requirement is to respond to all keyboard input promptly. However, in the Windows programming model, applications must respond to various messages sent by the operating system. These messages include user input, window resizing, and system notifications, among others. This message-driven architecture enables multitasking and a responsive user interface. Additionally, the event-driven nature of Windows programs allows for asynchronous processing of user input and system events. Proper message processing is vital for creating efficient and user-friendly applications on the Windows platform. Understanding the Windows programming model ensures developers can harness the full power of the operating system and deliver high-quality software that meets user expectations.
