Programming Windows/Fortran

[reidar]

Writing user interface with Windows/Fortran is quite challenging.

I find the documentation delivered from Intel with IVF10.026 rather limited.

On the internet I find the MSDN documentation from Microsoft, but this documentation is best suited for C-programmers.

Is there really no documentation or web-site in this world for Fortran/Windows programming? Can anyone advise?

You could try looking at xeffort from Jugoslav Dujic's site.

The Intel-provided documentation is not intended to be a reference on Win32 programming. It assumes you know what you want from Win32 and tells you how to use the supplied interface modules.

There is only one reference I know of for Win32 programming that is Fortran-oriented. That is Norman Lawrence's "Compaq Visual Fortran: A Guide to Writing Windows Applications". Nearly everything in the book is applicable to IVF.

You should also look at the many sample programs provided as of version 10. In general, the MSDN reference documentation is easy to use once you learn how to translate the argument descriptions for Fortran. This is aided by declarations in the IVF-supplied modules for the various documented C types such as long, pvoid and lpcstr.
