Re: [Dev-C++] getting started creating a windows gui application

[Mats L. <mat...@to...>]

If you're new to c++ you shouldn't start with creating windows and =
buttons. You should start picking up a good book about c++ programming =
and follow that. Window programming isn't "beginners level" so to speak.

Dev-Cpp is just a graphical interface for the compiler and you can't =
actually draw the windows or components graphically. If you really need =
that you could look at "Visual C++" from Microsoft =
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/visualc/), but believe me - you're starting =
at the wrong end.

  Subject: [Dev-C++] getting started creating a windows gui application


  Hi all,
  I just installed dev-cpp 4.9.8, and want to get started creating a =
windows application.

  I was able to generate teh initial c++ application file via the =
wizard, but now how do I add controls to the window such as menus, =
buttons etc.

  are there any "simple" examples? I am a newbie with c/c++ programming =
so I'd like something pretty simple to start with.
