JT20 Win32 tests

6/29/2020 Starting with Win32 API

Have tried different options creating a GUI for windows, now I found win32(Although very complicated) is very baisc and powerfull. Having studied through few tutorials from youtube and udemy.com, now there are a very basic window application done from the scratch. It was quite hard at the begining and I struggled with Unicode variable type such as LPCWSTR , LRESULT, however as long as being patient reading throught the Win32 API documents, it is very easy to get started with the code.
