This is some silly software I wrote when playing around with writing Win32 programs on Linux using Mingw32 and WINE. I factored out my ignorant approximation of the stuff in common among most Win32 API programs and called it "w32dry". Like everything else posted to kragen-hacks without a notice to the contrary, this code is in the public domain.
You probably ought to be able to compile this stuff on Win32 with Mingw as well, but I haven't tried.
kragen@thrifty:~/devel/w32dry$ ls -l total 152 -rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 27377 2008-08-02 16:08 w32dry.tar.gz
This is a tarball containing all of these files, which is convenient if you want to compile and modify this stuff instead of just looking at it.
-rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 746 2008-06-09 00:24 dryhi.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 kragen kragen 7168 2008-08-02 15:02 dryhi.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 2118 2008-08-02 16:07 dryhi.png
dryhi is a w32dry "hello world" program; it pops up an empty window with its own WndProc that behaves more or less as you'd expect a window to behave.
-rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 1098 2008-06-10 21:04 w32dry.h -rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 2147 2008-06-10 23:00 w32dry.c
These two files embody the "common" Win32 stuff from a "hello, world" program that I could easily factor out. dryhi depends on these, as do all the other programs; that's why dryhi.c is 29 lines instead of 80.
-rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 1293 2008-06-09 01:52 follow.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 kragen kragen 7680 2008-08-02 15:02 follow.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 4010 2008-08-02 16:03 follow.png
follow is the next step after dryhi: a nearly minimal w32dry program that takes input, drawing some text following the mouse.
-rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 2593 2008-06-10 23:00 circles.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 kragen kragen 8704 2008-08-02 15:02 circles.exe -rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 8059 2008-08-02 15:56 circles.png
circles draws a zoneplate pattern in colors, following the mouse. This is the only program here that is actually cool, as opposed to just being a "hello, world" example.
-rw-r--r-- 1 kragen kragen 5250 2008-06-10 22:56 onefile.c -rwxr-xr-x 1 kragen kragen 8192 2008-08-02 15:02 onefile.exe
onefile is a single-file version of circles that includes w32dry; I wrote it so as to be able to post it to kragen-hacks.

The Makefile makes it easy to compile all this stuff, and embodies my hard-won knowledge of how to work around WINE and Mingw stupidity. (Don't get me wrong; WINE and Mingw are fantastic. Just stupid sometimes.)
