Introduction

This is the source code, MIT licensed now, of my old ClassWizard-like tool to working with WINDOWSX.H message cracker macros. It's intended as you imagine, for raw-C and C++ programmers developing Win32 native applications.

For a detailed description of this program, check out the original CodeProject article at:

Suggestions are welcome.
