I just want to bring this up because I know lot's of C++ syntax and I feel that I know almost all of it but I want to be sure and also I would like a more clear explanation of many of the syntax I already know. My question here is: Where is the built-in documentation in Code::Blocks 10.05?

I am confused what exactly you are looking for...

You are looking for the C++ syntax? if so check the specification.

otherwise I have no idea what this has to do with the IDE you are using.

a builtin documentation. For example with python if you hit f1 it brings up documentation with index of all commands and functions of python.

Try the online C++ reference: http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/

Very handy. It's got complete docs for all the standard libraries. If you ever forget how to use a function, google "C++ <function name>" and the doc for that function will be the first result. You probably have to download the docs from somewhere if you want a local copy.

most people use http://www.cplusplus.com/ that I know.

C does have a standard library, I am not sure if documentation of it exists in the IDE you are mentioning (this is what you are probably asking about).

other than the standard library; C does not have any actual functions/methods.

Afaik, that has nothing to do with Python. That's a feature of your editor. I write python in a basic text editor. As far as I know I have no offline documentation.

offtopic; Insectoid,

Just in case you aren't talking about editor invoked help. python itself has a fair to handy interactive help() function. Not the greatest interface, and it takes awhile to get used to navigating, but there, offline when you need it. Excuse the interruption.

I used http://en.cppreference.com/w/ for 3 years. When i was learning c++. Thanks anyways I was looking for documentation on WM_ commands, which I already found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms644927%28v=VS.85%29.aspx#system_defined
