About w32

w32 is a wrapper of windows apis for the Go Programming Language.

It wraps win32 apis to “Go style” to make them easier to use.

This includes * advapi32.dll with golang * comctl32.dll with golang * comdlg32.dll with golang * dwmapi.dll with golang * gdi32.dll with golang * gdiplus.dll with golang * idispatch.dll with golang * istream.dll with golang * iunknown.dll with golang * kernel32.dll with golang * ole32.dll with golang * oleaut32.dll with golang * opengl32.dll with golang * psapi.dll with golang * shell32.dll with golang * user32.dll with golang

Example

package main

import (
	"github.com/xackery/w32"
)

func main() {
	w32.MessageBox(0, "Hello World!", "Hello, World!", 0)
}

For more examples, look at the example folder.

Setup

1. Install Go. I recommend 32bit aka i386 due to GCC 64bit issues on windows.
2. Get a GCC compiler. I recommend the WinBuilds version.
3. In command line, type go get github.com/JamesHovious/w32
4. Create a new file, and try the example above.
