: The Microwindows API tries to be compliant with the
: European ECMA APIW standard. Currently, there is
: not support for all of this standard. Is there any plan
: for completing every API in the APIW standard? Or
: which parts of this standard would never be
: implemented?
Initially, I was going to support tyhe ECMA APIW
standard. However, this standard is for the
16 bit windows api, not the 32 bit windows api.
The values of the SendMessage parameters are quite
different between 16 and 32 bit. I feel that its
not very valuable to support the 16 bit API.
My plans for implementation are to include 100%
of the Win32 GDI api; (this is well on it's way,
although certain parts, like the 256 different ROP
codes, will never be completed, or it won't be
"Micro"). In addition, for built-in window mgr
support, I have been implementing portions
of the USER api (user32.dll). The kernel32.dll
api will probably not be implemented, as it doesn't
really belong in a windowing system.

Greg
