Thread: Windows C++ Programming

Hi,
I am using a Borland C++ Compiler V 5.02, I know its pretty old, but it still supports win32. I just recently wanted to get my programs to run under windows instead of in the dos prompt. I found the code needed to do so, but I have a few questions. 1) How can I get text into this box, such as a text box or just text on the screen. 2) How can I place buttons in this window? I have programmed in the necessary windows mouse support. 3) I'm sure this is asked all the time on these boards, but how can I get graphics incorporated into my programs (just pictures, nothing animated)?

Thanks, any help would be great.

try downloading the win32 api reference here:
http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/docs/doc_win32.html

and maybe take a look at a few of the other links.

The reference is slightly dated but the basic stuff is all there and it's a much smaller download the latest platform SDK docs.

I think there might even be some links to some free .pdf books on the subject in some old threads around here.

Thanks, I'll definately check it out.
