C++ very EASY question

ok if you have a program that has this code in it to make a windows app: (from John's tutorial post)

Code:

---

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowFunc(HWND, UINT, WPARAM, LPARAM);

char szWinNamw[] = "MyWin";


int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hThisInst, HINSTANCE hPrevInst, LPSTR kposzArgs, int nWinMode)

{


HWND hwnd;

MSG msg;

WNDCLASSEX wcl;

wcl.cbSize = sizeof(WNDCLASSEX);

wcl.hInstance = hThisInst;

wcl.lpszClassName = "My Window";

wcl.lpfnWndProc = WindowFunc;

wcl.style = 0;

wcl.hIcon = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_APPLICATION);

wcl.hIconSm = LoadIcon(NULL, IDI_WINLOGO);

wcl.hCursor = LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW);

wcl.lpszMenuName = NULL;

wcl.cbClsExtra = 0;

wcl.cbWndExtra = 0;

wcl.hbrBackground = (HBRUSH) GetStockObject(BLACK_BRUSH);

 

if(!RegisterClassEx(&wcl)) return 0;

 

hwnd = CreateWindow( "My Window",

"Carmageddon TDR2000",

WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,

CW_USEDEFAULT,

CW_USEDEFAULT,

CW_USEDEFAULT,

CW_USEDEFAULT,

HWND_DESKTOP,

NULL,

hThisInst,

NULL );

ShowWindow(hwnd, nWinMode);

UpdateWindow(hwnd);

 

int i;

while(i = GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))

{ if (i == -1) break;

    TranslateMessage(&msg);

    DispatchMessage(&msg);

}

return msg.wParam; }

 

LRESULT CALLBACK WindowFunc(HWND hwnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)

{

    switch(message)

    {

        case WM_DESTROY:

        PostQuitMessage(0);

    break;

    default:

        return DefWindowProc(hwnd, message, wParam, lParam);

}

return 0;

 }

how would you print something? like in a console app you would put

Code:

---

#include <iostream.h>

int main()
{
    cout << "Hello! Please enter your name: ";
    int x;
    cin >> x;
}

---

so how would you put that into a windows app?

Go to New , choose win32application, create a new cpp file and put the code in there. As for the printing you could use a message box or an edit box.

well i am very new to C++, like the amount of time i've spent on learning C++ is about 2 hours...so..i am a newbie...so, do you know any good tutorials?

don't start with windows, first get a good command of the language itself. you will need to. check the faq for the sams online book.

yeah..i am going to start learning next semester in school...1st period..C++ heehee..but, it's just been bugging me about how to do that stuff in Windows so how do you do it?

if you don't know a basic sense of the language, you can't do it, it's just too complex. just start with a few console apps.

Better, a whole lot of console apps.

Z.

yeah, i have been working on and off for the last few months, and i just started with windows apps a little bit. You aren't gonna get anywhere if you don't have a really good command of the language. at least with windows programs

but just so you're happy, create a new win32 project and choose A "Hello, World!" application. It will contain exactly what you're searching for.

You'll still be bored when the teacher teachs you a different way (the way TEACHERS should).
