how to make a windows application

i want to learn how to make a windows application. I use a Bloodsheed compiler and there is an option to make a windows application.
When i choose that option on my screen appears a code like this

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

/*  Declare Windows procedure  */
LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

/*  Make the class name into a global variable  */
char szClassName[ ] = "WindowsApp";

int WINAPI WinMain (HINSTANCE hThisInstance,
                    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR lpszArgument,
                    int nFunsterStil)

{
    HWND hwnd;              /* This is the handle for our window */
    MSG messages;            /* Here messages to the application are saved */
    WNDCLASSEX wincl;        /* Data structure for the windowclass */

    /* The Window structure */
    wincl.hInstance = hThisInstance;
    wincl.lpszClassName = szClassName;
    wincl.lpfnWndProc = WindowProcedure;      /* This function is called by windows */
    wincl.style = CS_DBLCLKS;                /* Catch double-clicks */
    wincl.cbSize = sizeof (WNDCLASSEX);

    /* Use default icon and mouse-pointer */
    wincl.hIcon = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
    wincl.hIconSm = LoadIcon (NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);
    wincl.hCursor = LoadCursor (NULL, IDC_ARROW);
    wincl.lpszMenuName = NULL;                /* No menu */
    wincl.cbClsExtra = 0;                      /* No extra bytes after the window class */
    wincl.cbWndExtra = 0;                      /* structure or the window instance */
    /* Use Windows's default color as the background of the window */
    wincl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) COLOR_BACKGROUND;

    /* Register the window class, and if it fails quit the program */
    if (!RegisterClassEx (&wincl))
        return 0;

    /* The class is registered, let's create the program*/
    hwnd = CreateWindowEx (
          0,                  /* Extended possibilites for variation */
          szClassName,        /* Classname */
          "Windows App",      /* Title Text */
          WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, /* default window */
          CW_USEDEFAULT,      /* Windows decides the position */
          CW_USEDEFAULT,      /* where the window ends up on the screen */
          544,                /* The programs width */
          375,                /* and height in pixels */
          HWND_DESKTOP,        /* The window is a child-window to desktop */
          NULL,                /* No menu */
          hThisInstance,      /* Program Instance handler */
          NULL                /* No Window Creation data */
          );

    /* Make the window visible on the screen */
    ShowWindow (hwnd, nFunsterStil);

    /* Run the message loop. It will run until GetMessage() returns 0 */
    while (GetMessage (&messages, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
        /* Translate virtual-key messages into character messages */
        TranslateMessage(&messages);
        /* Send message to WindowProcedure */
        DispatchMessage(&messages);
    }

    /* The program return-value is 0 - The value that PostQuitMessage() gave */
    return messages.wParam;
}


/*  This function is called by the Windows function DispatchMessage()  */

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProcedure (HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch (message)                  /* handle the messages */
    {
        case WM_DESTROY:
            PostQuitMessage (0);      /* send a WM_QUIT to the message queue */
            break;
        default:                      /* for messages that we don't deal with */
            return DefWindowProc (hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);
    }

    return 0;
}

my question is this
where to put my code to make it a windows application with buttons and all
pls answer me soon

You should go to www.winprog.org, the tutorials there are amazing and take you from the very beginning and do not suppose any knowledge other than C/C++. Looking at your post, I'm not really sure if you are ready for this though.

Windows programming is a little more involved than putting code in the right place. You really have to revise that template for what you want from the start, but the Forger's tutorial should be helpful.

That code looks pretty bloated if it's just a template. I use this when beginning to write a Windows application:

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK WndProc(HWND hwnd,UINT msg,WPARAM wParam,LPARAM lParam){
  switch(msg){
    case WM_DESTROY:
      PostQuitMessage(0);
      return 0;
  }

  return DefWindowProc(hwnd,msg,wParam,lParam);
}

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst,HINSTANCE hPrev,LPSTR args,int nShow){
  MSG msg;
  WNDCLASS wc={0};
  wc.lpszClassName="Win32App";
  wc.hInstance=hInst;
  wc.hbrBackground=GetSysColorBrush(COLOR_3DFACE);
  wc.lpfnWndProc=WndProc;
  wc.hCursor=LoadCursor(0,IDC_ARROW);

  RegisterClass(&wc);

  CreateWindow(wc.lpszClassName,"Win32App",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW|
    WS_VISIBLE,CW_USEDEFAULT,CW_USEDEFAULT,400,400,0,0,hInst,0);

  while(GetMessage(&msg,0,0,0)){
    TranslateMessage(&msg);
    DispatchMessage(&msg);
  }

  return (int)msg.wParam;
}
