invoke is a macro, to simplify calling the api in stdcall format. the "real" way to do it in assembly would be like below, note the parameters are pushed in reverse
Code: push MB_OK push _caption push _text push [hwnd] call MessageBox while invoke makes it easier to code and read Code: invoke MessageBox,[hwnd],_text,_caption,MB_OK fasm compiling C code? lol.. anyways, practically all win32 api can be converted and used in assembly. you can use the CreateFile, WriteFile, and ReadFile functions to write/read a text file |

Oh, ok. So I either learn about macros or just do it long hand in reverse. I'll learn the long way first so I can understand it, then I'll read up on macros.

nice approach, i like kind of people like you (reading tutorial slowly and carefully, not using macros to better understanding in price of saving little time), really, you have what it needs to be good asm coder. |
