Old Windows help

[Jon Slaughter]

Does anyone know where I can find the old help that came, say, with visual
studio 6? the one that gave a good overview of windows and win32 api?

Jon,

The MSDN documentation online should still contain all of the
information that you found there. The VS.NET documentation should still
have it as well. The API hasn't gone anywhere.

Jon,

I can't seem to find it. I'm not talking about the API though.

I remember reading through the help a long time ago and it had Overview
sections. Like windows control overview that described in great detail how
all the controls worked, how they interacted with messages and gave example
and such. It did this for many things but I can't seem to find it on MSDN
anywhere ;/ These were in HTML Help if that helps at all. Maybe they just
didn't transport them to MSDN ;/ It was a great reference and very good at
explaining how windows worked. It have the api listening and stuff but thats
not what I'm talking about.

Thanks,
Jon
