# Minimal WinAPI GUI App in Fortran
This is a minimal graphical Windows application written in modern Fortran using the WinAPI.
It demonstrates how to create a basic window, handle events, show Unicode titles, and load custom icons.
## Features
- Written in Fortran (F2008 standard)
- Uses raw Windows API bindings
- Unicode window title (UTF-16 via `c_wchar_t`)
- Loads `.ico` icon via `LoadImageW`
- Custom `WndProc` handler
- Background brush and small/large icon handling
## Build
Use `gfortran` with these flags:
```bash
del *.exe
gfortran -c win_types.f90 string_utils.f90 standard.f90 win_api.f90 gui_helpers.f90
gfortran -o win.exe win.f90 win_types.o string_utils.o standard.o win_api.o gui_helpers.o -mwindows -std=f2008 -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Wimplicit-interface -Wsurprising
REM chcp 1251
del *.o
del *.mod
win.exe
pause
```
Or use the provided `build.bat`.
