    Nearly all the MSDN VC++ samples are MFC.

    ok, if i want to learn API how do i go about doing that, i have used API in VB, but none of it my own code. I don't even know what it means, so any tutorials on API maybe??

    You must get the MSDN if you want to start with API. It has all the info you will ever need.

    Skitchen8 - are you new to windows programming in C++, or the language itself?

    And yes, I ask this question every time someone says they're new to VC++

    And another thing

    At this time I am reading "Programming windows 95". It is a great book that does not use MFC - pure Windows API. So if you want to programming in win9x then buy this book. IT is about $67 CAN

    And here is another tutorial on programming in C++ using windows API.

    I tried to learn C++ about a year ago, but i had to much going on in my life to concentrate hard enough so i gave up. So I am pretty much new to both.

    You may want to understand pointers, callback functions, alocating memory on the heap etc. , in one word to be quite familiar with the C++ language because windows programming involves a lot of these things. To many people who start windows programming it seems like a whole new language.

    But have no fear, with a few weeks of practice you will se that it is not to hard.

    I know it sucks

    I know that programming in console sucks becuase i have tried with playing around with if-else, for loop, classes in console apps but you really dont want to do that so you can just spend a week on C++ programming and then if you have done windows api in vb then you can move on the programming in windows using C++.
