win32 graphics?

could someone tell me how to display graphics in a win32 application...and possably how to make it move...thanks

it's not that easy, graphics programming, and windows programming in general is pretty complicated.

my best advice is to do what everyone else has done.

buy a book, take a class, spend obscene amounts of time bathed in the glow of you monitor experimenting w/ C++ code.

When you have a grasp on that start learning DirectX (makes your life TONS easier when dealing w/ graphics!)

That should do it for you.

I recommend "C++ Programming 101" for getting a good grasp on basic C, then pick up a C++ book that deals w/ classes. Then try "Tricks of the Windows Game Programming Guru's" by Andre LaMothe. That should show you how to use DirectX

6-12 months from now you should be ok :)

Or you could learn OpenGL instead of DirectX

And why would you want to do that?

"And why would you want to do that?"


why wouldn't you?

try this for a beginners look. http://www.winprog.org/tutorial-old/#2.6.

It doesnt matter which one first, just learn one at a time.

If you want to make a choice, visit my poll at the windows programming topic.

Cplusplus.com...go under their garbage and look for a win32 GIF viewer with source. They should post that in the FAQ
