A couple of Questions

I have recently started programming in C++. I can create simple console programs like calculators, guess the number games, etc. But I want to do more than that. So I have a couple of questions

When I compile a project, are all of the files in it compiled into one executable?

If so how do I include these other files? with #include?

Does anyone know of a good tutorial explaining all this?

How do I make Win32 (I guess thats what you call them) programs. Just something simple like a calculator. My compiler,Dev-C++, has a template to open a simple window but I cant manage to put any content in it. Does anyone know of a good tutorial for this?

Thanks

Yes.

yes, as far as .h files.

Sunlight has excellent Win32 tutorials.

I've never really used Dev C++, but with MSVC you choose to create a Win32 App from the File menu, look for something similar in your IDE. Maybe check out the compiler's help file or their website's FAQ.

You can add bitmaps, and other various data formats into resource templates.

dev-c++ does have a template for windows applications.. I'll read that tutorial thanks

some very good win32 tutorials at www.gametutorials.com and go to tutorials...go to win32... :)

also i am getting into win32 api myself..just bought myself a copy of "programming windows" by charles petzold..should be here feb 26...i cant wait..and thanks everyone for making that suggestion :)
