Do you need to know Visual C++ for images, or can it be sone with C++ using a compiler like Dev C++. Because if you can I can't find anything that tells me how to.

Do you need to know Visual C++ for images, or can it be sone with C++ using a compiler like Dev C++. Because if you can I can't find anything that tells me how to.
Of course you can use Dev C to display an image. It is not the compiler that does it, it is the Win32 API functions.
how do you do Win32 functions
#include <windows.h>
They're just C or CPP API calls contained in a headerfile (and a lib file to link to of course) like any other.
There's rather a lot of them, so you will want a good reference. Most IDEs for Windows will have that as a helpfile, there's also thick books with very thin paper, like mine for NT4 (I know it's old but most is still valid) which is some 1500 pages.

Also, visit msdn for documentation on the API.
OK thanks everybody
