At the risk of sounding like a n00b, might anyone have a dumbed-down, step-by-step tutorial on creating a window in C? I know how to do the basic stuff and call the functions, but I can't figure out what to call when. I found one tutorial and couldn't understand a bit of it, I found myself trying to define one thing so I could define another to define the first one.  |

| whose compiler or IDE are you planning to use? Right now, there are two compilers who can create Win32 programs in C: gcc and of course, Microsoft. | |||

Eh, Dev-C++ (though I'm using C). I was able to create a window, but the code was all copy and paste; I didn't understand a bit of it.  |

| http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/gpgenesis1/ That's where I learned. Great tutorial on the basics of setting up SDI. |

Originally posted by neotransotakuActually, there's also OpenWatcom which is open source, like gcc, but it also tends to act like Microsoft's compiler, which most books or tutorials seem to assume you're using, so overall I'd recommend it. The downside is that if you just want to download the installer, it's 60MB (not a problem for me since I'm on DSL, but it would easily be a problem for someone on dialup). You can download individual packages though, but it's more work that way. As for the original question, you might want to check out a book titled "Windows 95 Programming in C and C++" by Herbert Schildt. That's where I learned all of that stuff. There's probably something new out by now though, covering more recent operating systems, but Win95 programs still work even on XP, so that's probably not a big deal for you yet. |

| Note with OpenWatcom you'll have to download a load of libraries and cygwin to compile it, unless you can find pre-rendered files. I don't know if that's worth it. I find Dev-C++ fairly adequate. You could also try running KDevelop (the momma of open-source IDEs) under Cygwin, which is possible (see their site.) |
