This may sound kind of stupid but I can't make heads or tails of adding controls and making any use of a windows program in Dev-C++, the only other experience I have with it is Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express and it manages all that code for you :( Can anyone please put up some sample code or give me a link to download a windows program in Dev-C++. And by the way, no this is not homework, I'm in high school and I plan on majoring in software design and want to get a little head start. :)
Thanksinadvanceforallthehelp,

If you want something like Visual C++ consider using the derivative wxDev-C++. It uses the wxWidgets class library (similar to MFC), and adds a 'visual'GIU design tool.
If you stick with vanilla Dev-C++ you have to directly code to the Win32 API, and manually construct resource scripts ('Petzold style'). Dev-C++ does not have some much as a resource editor, let alone RAD tools.
