Answer 1

Maybe this code
will help you . The description says: The example project is a simple Win32 console application that includes message resources and shows how to use them with FormatMessage() and ReportEvent(). It also shows how to register an event source for the NT event log. And the best thing: it does all of this with less than 100 lines of code.
