Welcome to my WinDev2021 Final Project Source Repository!

About Project:

This is a programming exercise written using only the Win32 SDK and the design patterns from Microsoft's Component Object Model (COM).

Syntax highlighting, Intellisense and the Text Editor in Visual Studio 2019 were the only features of the IDE utilized.

Everything including the GUI is typed by hand. All files were built using only command line utilities.

Development began on 20-09-2021 and lasted until 12-03-2022.
