Brain Overload...vb = easy...c++ = CONFUSING DEATH TRAP!

Okay...I have VC++ 6.0. How do I make windows programs? Which project should I chose from the list?

And once I find this out, how do I use information from stuff, like an edit box (textbox)? In vb its Text1.text But how do I do stuff like that in VC++?

Well, it's not that easy.... umm... if you want to do it the easy way then I think it's easiest to do this with an MFC project. Personally I've never used MFC, only API stuff, which is a lot more complicated.

Have you got the hang of C++ outside of Windows yet? I hear it's best to try to hold off from Windows apps til you're competant in console apps.

Ooops, sorry, just after I posted this, In dennis' post I found a link to winprog.com, excellent windows programming tutorial...using API. I'm fairly comfortable with my console "skills" but Im no guru. I just kind of wanted to see what it took to make...thanks harry!
