How do i understand MSDN

[258456]

I don't understand the library in MSDN, like let's say the messagebox function for example. I already know how to use it but i looked it up in msdn to see the syntax of how they explain it. How are you supposed to know that you are suppost to put -TEXT("Text")- i am so confused.

How do you know how to use the syntax on MSDN

Explain your question better please?

Plus, MSDN is just documentation, like any other SSK would have.

well, basically, i don't understand how msdn is helpful. It tells me the functions but idk how to use them in code.

Thanks for helping(not).
LOL, but seriously this situation is tickin me off.

First you need to know C++. MSDN is just a reference.

You don't use it to code, you use it to HELP you, so you don't have to remember everything - you still need to know how to code.

ok, that's why i was confused, cuz i knew how to code it but i thought i was doing it wrong cuz it looked weird in msdn but i understand why it looks the way it does, thanks guys

Common Sense is Common.

Coding != Pasting, MSDN = A Ref. / Explanation for Functions, So you don't have to remember all the functions from the Whole damn WinAPI.

So nao go learn to code.
