Is there anyway to write windows progs in ASM?
So i take it you cant?
You can, but you didn't get any replies because nobody here knows how :D......... :(
If you define the API functions as external and push the parameters onto the stack as normal, then there's no reason why not. Megatron (I think) posted a link to the MASM32 thingie which makes it dead easy to make windows apps. Although, for windows progs, asm is only really useful if you want a tiny program, since you can use inline asm for the speed-crucial bits.
Of course, every thing you write in C++ VB or any language
is translated into a primitive Assembler Code. All you need is a good Help-File and a compiler like Tasm 5.0 or Pass32
I don't have that much experience of Tasm, but I can tell
you that Pass32 is a really good Assembler, It comes with
allot of examples, some of them 4 win32
The page is not very well looking and might seam unprofessional.
but it certainly isn't.
If you Download it make sure you get the Beginer help pdf file
http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Bay/3437/
It comes with allot of fast Include files
(VBE2.0) 4 example
Also take a look at NASM, it's very nice, and supports loads of stuff.
If you go to the root of the Assembly forum, I think there's a post about it there.
