I had been meaning to ask a similar question: what are the best
resources to get a rigorous understanding of Windows.Forms? It's
easy enough, using the SDK documentation, to write a simple
Windows.Forms application. And for much of the API, creating a new
implementation isn't so mysterious -- for example, it's not hard to
understand what a method like Control.Hide should do. But then there
are methods like Control.PreProcessMessage, that seemingly drag in
the entire Win32 message system. How critical is it to fully support
methods like PreProcessMessage? Where can we find, or how can we
create, a rigorous specification for such methods?
