Hi

I'm pretty new to c++, and I'm not sure exactly how to make a visual application
I've looked all over, but I can't find how to make a button or a text field, or how to make a toolbar for the application window

Is there a built in library with visual components? if this question is too complicated to answer in a few paragraphs is there a place I can go to find this information?

thanks

You can program visual application in C++ using the following Microsoft methods:

1. Windows Programming SDK
2. Microsoft Foundation Components (MFC)
3. Microsoft .Net Framework


The other methods ( and arguably the easier ones: )
1. Fast Light Toolkit ( FLTK )
2. WxWidgets
etc.

If you are pretty new to visual programming, you can go either the Microsoft way or the other way. MFC can be programmed in only Microsoft Visual C++. but you can program in the freely downloadable .net framework.

The easiest way is to program in FLTK. There is also a FLTK forum here ( where one renowned guy always replies to queries )

Google it for more information.

Regards,
Paramesh.
