Ok here's a real simple example you can try... set up your IDE with a console program and try this...
Code:
#include <windows.h>
int main (void )
{ puts("Mixed mode example..."); // prints on console window
puts("windows message box from console proggy");
MessageBox(NULL,"Click ok to exit this program","Message",MB_TOPMOST);
puts("Y'all come back now, Y'hear!");
return 0; }
Maybe this whole thing just isn't for me. Maybe programming in general isn't for me. Gah, Bah, and humbug. I doubt you will have had the patience or indeed the boredom to read this. But if you have you will be enlightened with the knowledge that I am going to beat my face against the wall on my right.
It's about attitude... Start any new endeavour fearing that you will fail and guess what happens... On the other hand a small bit of "I can do this!" goes a very long way.
It's not simple programming... take your time, repeat lessons if you need to, but it will sink in...
