Assumming you're using Windows and you have got Visual C++ (in Visual Studio)

1.Start VC++

2.New Project -> Win32 Project (chose Blank Project)

3.Right click on Project in Project Explorer->Setting -> Chosing"MFC static dll:

4.File ->New -> C++ file type into WinMain

5.Double click on WinMain.cpp and write these code:



#include

class CWindow:public CFrameWnd()

{

public:

CWindow(); //Constructor

};



CWindow::CWindow()

{

Create(NULL,_T("Windows Application")); //Create a simple window

}



class CWindowApp:CWinApp

{

public:

BOOL InitInstance();

}theApp;



BOOL CWindowApp:CWinApp

{

this->m_pMainWnd=new CWindow();

//Attach window to your application



this->m_pMainWnd->ShowWindow(SW_SHOW); //Display windows



this->m_pMainWnd->UpdateWindow();



return TRUE;

}



then press F5.



If there is any error:

1st: Check the setting of Project

You may consider downloading and installing LCC-Win32, a free compiler and IDE created by the University of Virginia (http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lcc-win32/). This program includes the ability to create a project from a template. One of those templates includes a "Regular windows window." You could pull that apart if you're the kind of person that likes to learn by example. Otherwise, just use a tutorial like the one already mentioned.

Answer 3

Try looking up the WinAPI if you're really gung-ho about using C++ and having a normal (non command line) window. If you just need some simple applications though, I recommend something like Java or Visual Basic. You can get free compilers, including ones with simple GUI builders.

Answer 4

This video will get you there. There are a few more to get you started in windows programming. These are very clear and easy to follow.

It depends on what operating system, GUI and application framework you are using. If you give more information then you will get more appropriate and specific answers.
