my Basic Window template 64 bit version.

[zedd151]

Here is my basic window template coverted to 64 bit MASM. It has been quite some time that I had written anything in 64 bit, I had forgotten many of the differences between 32 and 64. But luckily some programs can be *almost* directly converted. Others need some 'adjustments' to be done to the code.   
A couple of features here. Automatic centering of window, About box, Menu.

Hi zedd151,

I keep also templates for to start new ideas developement faster. I also use Git and GitLab on my own Docker. The history in GitLab Project is also great to look backwards what has changed. 64bit is easy as 32bit is too.

I managed to read thru Intel Architectures Software Developer Manual, big book over 4800 pages. Now I'm doing research of Windows API's with Microsoft Docs and some good books.

Also I'm gonna now be more active here.

Cheers. Petter!

It's good to hear that. We need more members here that are enthusiastic about coding in assembly.

Yeah, in my case, it's only assembly, nothing else. Jump to deep world of machine language...

Here is my template, for comparison. Plain Masm64 SDK

lol I was expecting MB_Win_Skel or something like that. 
Okay, plain and simple window template. Thank you for your contribution.
Your program window needs a little centering.   

[daydreamer]

I am trying to make templates for maybe make editor(android)
Good resources  to include few in your editor and use textreplace from what user choice of the usual windows class name,project name,file name.asm

Magnus,

I think if you want editors in Android, you willl have to learn how to write softwrae in Android as x86 and x64 code will not work there.

Hutch i had in mind cross Development editor
I have some c skill and knowledge of similar settext and gettext api for edit control
Seen on google play,"quick edit text editor"?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rhmsoft.edit&hl=en&gl=US
Same name as qe
sue them for using same name?
Free, but ads popping up

you willl have to learn how to write softwrae in Android as x86 and x64 code will not work there.

You have to use Java, wich is platform independent (and easy  )

Even if Android is just a flavour of Linux, applications must have some kind of stub in Java.

i had in mind cross Development editor

To program directly in tablet or phone you can use Termux. Then you have a terminal in Android, with vi, vim, emacs, micro, nano and all kind of editors and tools usual in Linux. Also you can install C, Java, Python and more.

The true problem is the keyboard

Hector its crossdevelopment on android for PC
so made useful windows GUI template
I already have posted very old android Java app,only got so far as start with hello android and mod it
http://masm32.com/board/index.php?topic=7084.0
I have very old android sdk and old version of eclipse IDE(also java) which I used to made it

[zedd151]

Seems this thread took a left turn.    Glad to have inspired you, daydreamer.
Good luck Magnus with your project, let us know how it turns out. Even post it, if you feel so inclined. 
But it would most likely be better suited in "Miscellaneous Projects"  probably, or "Hardware Corner" maybe".

[daydreamer]

Thanks zedd
I have typed in Windows gui from my memory, not finished
Is it good design to have template.asm source file only have main loop and wndproc with most messages only cases and empty beside paint message ? And template. Inc companion file proc's and. Data for register class and a standard createwindow?
Main file could have the only necessary equates window width and window height?
