WIN API simple programs

Is there any simple programs to get me into windows programming. I don't understand half the stuff on the premade window maker.

Is there an easy way of making a window with text on it?

Im using Dev C++ with Mingw GNU, but i have CYGWIN as well.

You might want to ask on the Windows forum... I'll move the thread over there.

>>Is there an easy way of making a window with text on it?<<

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int)
{
MessageBox(0, "Hello World", "Messagebox", MB_OK);
return 0;
}

---

Is about as simple as it gets. There's a more 'standard' example of window creation by Adrianxw in this thread. Other examples can be found by searching this board.

I can do message boxes. Ill check the other forum. Thanks

Here's a really simple one...
