Re: [Dev-C++] Hello to the group and reference material

Hi,

Although I haven't actually done much with it, the SmartWin++ package =
for Dev-C++ seems like it would be a good place to start.  It seems to =
be a bare-bones Windows GUI library.  It uses all the handle, device =
context, canvas, etc. stuff that the Windows API uses.

I've been using Allegro, which I like a lot, but I had to create my own =
"widgets", since the dialogs, buttons, etc. in Allegro are kind of =
tedious to use.

Long time reader, first time poster.  I took an intro C++ class in =
college
but didn't study very hard and skipped most classes, still managed a =
passin=3D
g
grade amazingly enough.  Now I'm interested in picking it back up as =
well a=3D
s
everything I lost.  We used the Borland compiler and UI when I was at =
schoo=3D
l
but I've been tinkering with Dev-C++.  I like it quite a bit!

I'm to the point in my limited self education that I want to try working
inside a Windows Application.  One of my early textbook assignments was =
to
develop a program that converts Farehneit temerature measurements to
Celcius.  I figured that would be a good place to start working in =
Windows
Applications.

I'm looking for some online references that will help me along in my new
endeavour.  I've got a basic understanding of how C++ works and how
programming should be done, so starter websites would be probably my =
best
bet.  If anyone can help me out, I'd appreciate it!

Thanks
Kevin.
