VC++ Buttons Questions

I was doing this tutorials last night about the basics of buttons in VC++. The tutorial is here http://www.codeproject.com/buttonctrl/button_tute.asp

Anyway, at one point they wanted me to change the button ID in the Recource.h file... and the problem is that I couldn't find where it was saying the button ID in that .h file...

=====================================

My other question is this... when I'm writing a console app, how can I stop it from unloading when I'm complete??

Any help??

(If you are wondering, I'm a COMPLETE newbie in C++ so explain things to me as if I'm 9 years old :D )

Are you using a dialog?(VB-Like interface)

If so, then just double click on the button and change IDC_BUTTONX to the name you want(I recoment keeping the IDC_ prefix).

Right-click and properties, I think :)

That tutorial is for MFC - don't use it. If you're a newbie at C++, learn that first. Don't even think about Windows programming yet. Either way, you shouldn't use MFC until you're extremely competent at normal Windows programming using the API.

I know... but it looked interesting so I gave it a try...

For now I'll only try to study console apps. :)

Nobody answered my console questions...:(
