    I want to create a simple window and then put some control on it such as a button. My compiler gives me an option to create a simple window but I totally don't understand it. In DOS programming, in know classes, and functions. I want to move on to windows applications know. I don't need any source code unless it is like a tutorial.

    If you are using MSVC++ then when you do a simple Window Program you have to manually put in the code for everything, buttons, edit boxs, etc. Its not like VB where you draw your form out then code everything else. I am sure that parksie's program will give you a good example of that.

    Sorry I dont have any tutorials for you, I learn most of this stuff from books.

    MFC programs in MSVC++ is kind of like VB but it still takes a lot of coding. But if you dont know how to do it manually then you should not do MFC yet. Learn the basics then move on.

    Hehehe

    If you really need an in-depth introduction then the Platform SDK is pretty much the only place to start.

    FYI, Microsoft has the Platform SDK for Whistler (also compatiable to other MS OS) available for download.
