    C++ Gui

    Does anyone know a website or a book that I can go to/use to learn now to program Visual C++ GUI? I've tried using other source code, but I'm not getting it. An help is appreciated.

    In MSVC++ you can use the GUI wizard to create your windows automatically. From there it's a simple matter of studying the code and what it does. Or you can take a look at some of these and search for more on google:

    http://sunlightd.virtualave.net/Windows/
    http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.

    I wouldnt recommend touching any of the Wizards on VC++ for quite a while as they are for things like MFC and ATL, and so the code generated will mean nothing to you until you understand the framework...

    The sites above are all good sources on Windows GUI, but if you want a book; [list=1][*]Programming Windows by Charles Petzold[*]Windows Programming from the Ground up by Herb Schildt[/list=1]

    They will both give you a good idea on how to produce GUI programs and understand how they work
