The Windows API is a set of application programming interfaces and is available in all the Microsoft Windows operating systems. These are many different platforms of implementations which carry out certain actions. One of them is static control which can be used to display texts and visual features.

This is a setting that the user cannot enter and gives different effects to the texts. It will have power over the style of the text by changing the shadow setting as well as certain scrolls or blinks. It can also be used with a display to automatically format a value that is asked of it.

This will receive information from the mouse which will intern notify the parent window as to when the person using it will click or double click the option. These can be used in pop-ups and overlapping but their main purpose for design is to be used in dialog boxes where the system will remove any irregularities and variations in their behaviour. If they are used outside of the dialog boxes there is an increase in risk that they will behave in a different way.

There are a few different types of these controls. The Simple Graphics one controls the display of a frame or a rectangle that is filled. This frame can draw in many different styles as well as with an etched style. This will give it the look of being three dimensional. These displays are normally filled with white, black or gray and are defined by certain constants. This one cannot be combined with any other choice.

There are a few different kernel designs and they all differ when it comes to managing system calls and resources. The monolithic kernel defines a high level or virtual interface over the hardware. These include concurrency, memory management and process management and different devices can be added as modules. Microkernels are the smallest amount of software that provides mechanisms for the operating system. These include address space management, inter-process communications and thread management. The general rule is that they are under ten thousand lines of code and the Minix has less than six thousand lines of codes.

The fonts are also controlled by this and many people get confused as to what the difference is between the typeface and a font. A typeface can be described as many metal blocks each with a character of a key design. A font is a block that has a certain weight and size to it. Over the years the fonts where no longer many blocks and became digital computer files that changed to whichever the user wanted.

Both of them are measured in points, which is a way of measuring any very small thing on a printed page. The first points where between 0.18 and 0.4 millimetres in size. Over time these changed and in the 1980s and 1990s, they began to be called PostScript points. Now they are about 0.35 millimetres and have twelve points to the pica.

Each height of the characters is measured in points and each is about one of a seventy two inch. In order for each character to fit into a certain space it is measured by pitch. The most common are ten and twelve but can be much larger when needed for posters and presentations.
