Chapter Fifteen — Windows/OS Functions (continued)
Legato provides a modest level of direct Windows functions. This section covers those functions.
Every control, application, button, etc. is made from one or more windows. This becomes an easy method of compartmentalizing the display and actions associated with the function, particularly painting and the mouse.
Windows are addressed and managed by a window handle. While the handle data type is used to store these values, the CloseHandle function does not act upon these values.
See MSDN for more information about windows and window manipulation. These are considered advanced functions.
