You still have much to learn. Doing a text editor isn't trivial. Meanwhile good luck

Hello if13121,

If you're new to windows programming (like me) then you'll find the learning curve pretty steep, at least to the point where you can write simple applications. I would get a good book on windows programming + have a look for windows API tutorials on the web.

A good book is Programming Windows by Charles Petzold (Microsoft Press).

However, I would recommend getting pretty comfortable with the C language itself, perhaps by writing some DOS code first.

xErath is right; a very simple text editor is a quite complex programming challenge. I know because I want to write one for myself (one day).
