graphics in VC++ ?

Hi,
Is there any way i can use graphics in Microsoft Visual c++ ?

Of course. Unfortunately, your questions is like, "Can I use eggs in a kitchen?". You will need to be far more specific.

how do you do simple stuff like lines or maybe bitmaps?

Learn OpenGL.

Start here.

No No don't start with Open GL. Search your MSDN library for keywords like LineTo, dc , Cdc , CreateBrush, BitBlt.

Why not use OpenGL?

I agree with barjor. With an understanding of the basics of Windows graphics you can do a lot, including make a reasoned choice as which direction you want to go viz a more sophisticated tool.

OpenGL is not universally applauded, nor indeed, is DirectX, (etc. etc.). Both will allow you draw a line on a screen and the like, but at this point, we, and indeed I suspect the original questioner, do not know where he wants to be going in the longer term.

Loading yourself with a lot of baggage early, when it may well be the wrong baggage, is always a bad idea.

There are links to tutorials on basic graphics in the FAQ.

Open GL is perfectly cool and I love working with it but you shouldn't run before you can walk.

Yeah but once you learn it you wont need anything else.

Eber Kain I doublt that true with any thing everything has its ups and downs.
