How to Use
Just double click the SysInfo.exe.
Right click on the main window, select "Option", you can customize the apperance and contents. Some predefined macro(leading and endding with a '%') can be used. between macro strings, you can input any content, they will be showen as they are.
Notice
This program compiled with WTL 8 beta 7108. If you want to compile the source code, you must have the WTL correctly installed. There's a difference between WTL 8 beta 7108 and elder version: only one parameter for the handle function of WM_TIMER, so if you compile this program with earlier version of WTL, you may get errors.
History
2007-05-12 Version 1.0.
Acknowledge
This is my first WTL based program. It's used some others' work:
Tim Smith: Color Picker for WTL with XP themes
Dudi Avramov: How to get CPU usage by performance counters
dswigger: Really cool visual FX
