Creating a Window

[NiVEN]

Is there a simple way to create a Window in VC++ 6.0 ??

What do you mean by simple? The code in the Tutorials post on the top here is quite simple.

[NiVEN]

I thought you guys should answer something like that =). Yes it's quite easy. but is there a way to "draw" a window. something not concerning copy and paste? =)

You can use CreateDialog and the Dialog [sic] editor.

[NiVEN]

how do I do that?

[CornedBee]

In VC++: Insert->Resource->Dialog

Ok.. I get this error when just creating a dialog. Does it reqiure me to add anything? I'll search in the MSDN for some answers but if you can help please do =)

You need to use a proper Windows program, which starts with WinMain, not main (as normal C and C++ programs do). Do a bit of searching on Google and you'll find the answer

[NiVEN]

Search on what? WinMain? i'll do that tomorrow.. too darned tired today =).

[parksie]

WinMain and CreateDialog should do the trick
