Windows

Hello folks, I would like to build expertise on programming with Windows API, specifically relating to window management (programmatically resize, close, move windows), mouse and keyboard control (programmatically generate keystrokes, mouse autoclick, drag, move cursor) as well as programmatic generation of drag-and-drop actions.


Instead of learning from MSDN API docs, I though it would be better to learn from projects out there that are open source. I was thinking of AutoHotKey but thought I would ask here to get a better suggestions. Small projects would help me ramp up faster.


I am a beginner to Windows programming; I have worked on X Windows projects previously, so the concepts are familiar to me. Thanks much.
