No, and yes.
My best code is written with the delete key.
Where can I get one? And do you have to learn DirectX or some sort of graphics to do it?
That's one option. If you want to do custom graphics, there's OpenGL, DirectX, Allegro, SDL, etc...
If you want to do Windows programming, there's the Win32 SDK, and several wrappers like MFC, OWL, etc...
Do a bit of research and then choose which one suits your needs better. The libraries are more often than not free, and available for download. You can certainly find a tutorial that teaches you how to use the library from Google.
There's also Qt, gtk, WxWidgets, fltk, etc which are all cross-platform GUI (not graphics) libraries.

The word rap as it applies to music is the result of a peculiar phonological rule which has stripped the word of its initial voiceless velar stop.
Well, I downloaded and installed WxWidgets, but I've never used libraries before. How do I use it? What should I do now?
Well, reading the documentation and working with the sample programs is a start. As far as making sure the library is linked to your program, that depends on what compiler you are using.
I say this one more time: jumping into GUI programming (or graphics, or any other specialization) without a good grasp of the language is very likely to lead to low productivity, wasted effort, and frustration.

I know, i'm not doing just yet. I just want to know if it's all set up for when I do use it.Originally Posted by Zach L.
Well:
1) You need to make sure all the headers are in the appropriate directory (essentially wherever), and that the compiler's search path includes that directory.
2) You need to make sure that the libraries are in the proper directory (again, essentially wherever), and that the linker know where to look for them.
Generally, in the new directories ought to be in something like a subdirectory of the compilers pre-existing header/lib directories or a sudirectory you specifically set aside for 3rd party libraries (this is a good option if you'll be working with multiple compilers).
How you set this depends on what compiler/IDE you have (that is, let us know what you have, and someone will probably be able to help you).
