[Dev-C++] Advice requested.

[Dwayne M. <dmi...@ne...>]

Ok, knowing this is not the format to be asking a ton of silly newbie 
questions.... I am asking this one, hoping to avoid having to ask a ton 
more.


I am looking for some form of reference, preferably with examples on 
progamming windows programs using gcc/Dev-cpp.

I know there are wrappers out there like GTK/GTK+, are there any others 
that are well known and used?

I would assume that somehow in the default Dev-cpp install there is a 
way to make some basic (at least) windows controls appear on a window, 
as the default project just gives you a blank window.

I have done some C/C++ programming before, but only text based 
(Console), and I have done some VB work before, as well as a bit of C 
(way back version 1 of VC) for MS windows.

Anyone understand what I am asking? Suggested books, websites, other 
such resources, even a beginners mailing list for windows programing 
would help.

I admit most of my windows programming was VB based, and I was spoiled 
with the graphical interface, and as far as I know thats not availble 
for gcc compiler... now I just have to learn the hard way to code it all.


Thanks,
