You can use Microsoft Visual Studio to search the entire set of source code here to see whether the usage of a particular Windows API is being demonstrated. Clone this repo (or download the ZIP) to your local file system. Then **Find in Files** in Visual Studio, set **Look in** to the folder you cloned or downloaded into, and search for an API name. You can install [Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) without expense. A Community edition is available\u0026mdash;it's free for students, open-source contributors, and individuals.\n\nThese samples demonstrate the functionality and programming model\nfor Windows and Windows Server.\nThis repo contains Visual Studio solution (SLN) files for each sample,\nalong with the source files, assets, resources, and metadata\nneeded to compile and run the sample.\nFor more info about the programming models, platforms, languages,\nand APIs demonstrated in these samples,\ncheck out the documentation on the\n[Windows Dev Center](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=532421).\n\nMost of these samples were created\nfor Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and/or Windows Server 2012 R2\nusing Visual Studio 2013,\nbut some were created with earlier versions,\nor with specific SKU and other requirements.\nIn many cases, the samples will also work on later versions than the ones indicated.\nIf you cannot get a sample to work as expected,\nit might have platform, version, or SKU-specific requirements.\nIf you have any issues with the samples, please provide feedback using the Issues list.\n\nTo get a copy of Visual Studio, go to\n[Visual Studio Downloads](http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/p/?linkid=301697).\n\nOther samples:\n\n- [Windows Universal Samples (UWP)](https://github.com/Microsoft/Windows-universal-samples)\n- [Desktop Bridge to Universal Windows Platform (UWP)](https://github.com/Microsoft/DesktopBridgeToUWP-Samples)\n- [Code samples browser](https://docs.microsoft.com/samples/)\n\nThis project has adopted the [Microsoft Open Source Code of Conduct](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/).\nFor more information see the [Code of Conduct FAQ](https://opensource.microsoft.com/codeofconduct/faq/)\nor contact [opencode@microsoft.com](mailto:opencode@microsoft.com) with any additional questions or comments.\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Others","miscellaneous","Additional resources","Windows"],"sub_categories":["Samples","Considerations for specific samples","Containers"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmicrosoft%2FWindows-classic-samples","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmicrosoft%2FWindows-classic-samples","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmicrosoft%2FWindows-classic-samples/lists"}
