Which is compiler is not stupid?

[abdul]

I have vc++ but I don't want to use MFC to create apps. I want to use my own code. When I make a resource file with MFC, it puts a lots of code in that file which is beyond my scope. Guys, is there any other compiler which is better than vc++? How can know that when the cursor moves over my mouse and when it enters and leavers. Ms uses some kind of class like this

button::OnMouseClicked

How can use that with my pure code? Is there any complete tutorial on C++ windows programing not www.winprog.org becuase some of its files don't work.

How can I create a toolbar can you give an example file for that?

Thanks

Winprog is by far the best tutorial for begginers, so if you cant figure that one out, your probably not ready.

In my opinion VC++ is far the best IDE and Compiler. Don't use MFC. As ChimpFace said winprog is one of the best tutorials.

Select "Win32 Application" instead of "MFC AppWizard"

Yeah, you don't have to MFC in VC++. But, if you are insistant on not using VC++, then i recommend Borland C++ builder 5.

No, just Borland C++ 5. NOT C++ Builder -- that's different. Like VB but using C++.

[sail3005]

Yeah, it can do that, but it is also a nice IDE for just doing plain c++/api.

On your original question:
For programming w/o MFC, I would suggest going to

http://www.planetsourcecode.com/xq/ASP/lngWId.3/qx/vb/default.htm

and browsing through the code or searching for code without
MFC. There are basic programs to help with WINAPI.

How old is this thread? Surely it must have had a birthday by now :D

We've covered the whole "making *real* windows programs" in minute detail, and it's covered in the FAQ, as well as in god knows how many threads :p
