Hello all,

The only real C++ programming I've done has been Unix console-style
programs.  I have some programs that I want to play around with in the
windows environment, and would appreciate some help with a simple GUI to get
me started.  What I'm looking for is some basic code that will create a
window with a BMP background and a few buttons that I can assign actions to
run some of the functions I wrote in school.

Also, if you know of any good websites that have GUI tutorials, that would
be great.  I'd like to start with code-only GUIs before I move on to some of
the GUI builders, like VC++ dialog editor.

Thanks,
--Matt

Hi Matt,

You can check <<Programming Windows>> by Charles Petzold. This book
introduces Windows programming using plain C code. It mainly covers GDI.

Besides MSDN, you can also check the following web sites for some samples:

http://www.codeproject.com
http://www.codeguru.com

I hope it helps.

Best Regards,
Leo Chen
