Summary

To use Open32 for Open32 applications or mixed-mode applications, follow these steps:

• For mixed-mode applications, see Migrating Mixed-Mode Applications.

• Get set up to use the Open32 by installing the prerequisites. See Getting Started.

• If you wish to analyze and migrate existing Windows 32-bit code, use SMART to analyze Windows code and resource files. Then use SMART to migrate the code and resource files to OS/2 code and resource files. Use either SMART or Hyperwise Lite to migrate help files to OS/2 help files. See the following:

  • Analyzing Windows Code
    
  • Analyzing Windows Resource Files
    
  • Migrating Windows Code
    
  • Migrating Windows Resource Files
    
  • Migrating Windows Help Files

  To migrate existing Windows icons and bitmaps, use SMART. The Open32 Programming Guide and Reference does not cover this topic; see the SMART documentation.
  5.
  If you want to write new code or ensure that your existing migrated code runs correctly, note the:

  • Differences between Windows NT and OS/2: See Windows and Open32 Differences
    
  • Changes to the OS/2 Resource Compiler: See OS/2 Warp Tools Reference
    
  • Open32 functions: See Open32 Functions
  6.
  Compile and test the code: See Testing.
