What's the purpose of makign a window compared to a form? So you understand how a window works. You know nothing of the innerstructure of win32. You should visit winprog. Don't go back to CLR. Il like to create an empty win32 app and add a new .cpp file (and anything else you may need later on)
You aren't good enough in C++ yet to just jump into CLR or Win32.

Thanks Slovach 
I just made a Message box btw!!
| Code: | #include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow)
{
MessageBox(NULL, "HELLO..world!!???", "Please work...", MB_OK);
return 0;
}
|
@blankrider/slovach, so should I move slowly with Win32 or just do consoles for a little while? I really hate consoles, but if its gonna help (will it?), I guess I should do it. And Win32 is the language C? So its not C++?
Edit: Been reading a lot now, understand how a window works and WndProc(). Forgers is great

WinAPI and Win32 are the same right?

Win32 API.
Seriously, learn C++ before API's. You will understand them better when you come to learn later on.

Wow this is great!! It helped me A LOT.
So did you start off with C++ consoles than move onto Win32 API?

Personally, I use consoles for everything I make now since it is only the back end I care about, the console is just for input/output for testing.

I started learning C++ via DLLs and a plugin system due to the project I was part of at the time. I don't learn like others though, I can't sit and read a book front to cover and expect to know things. Instead I learn by trial and error and hands on. I'll read like anyone else, but I wont sit and only read. I'll try things out as I go.
I had a general understanding of C++ already from things I've done in the past though, so I didn't jump in knowing nothing at all about the language, or what it can do.

I see. What compiler did you start off with? Visual C++ [date here] ?
