Abstract
A message-driven application is converted to an Application Programming Interface-driven application while retaining the same functionality in a windowing graphical user interface that is inherently message-driven. At minimal application coding expense, an application that send messages to control its windows can be converted such that APIs are called instead to perform the exact same result.
