windows.h is one of the headers you use for the Win32 API. It's not something you can learn with just a bit of sample code. This is a good start, though.

I'm here to prove you wrong.

what compiler do you have ? You can get some old MS-DOS stuff here. They are not tutorials but actual working example programs.
Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.
>do u have a less complicated website???
That's about as simple as it gets. You're asking to do a complicated task, why would you expect the API to be simple?
>do u know a website just makes lines, or txtbox something on just the exe, not on a GUI form....
You have text (as in console text), and graphics. Pick one. There are no other options, you can't just say you want to draw a line without first creating a canvas and then using a graphics API to do the drawing[1]. You can open a message box from a console program, but lines require GDI, and GDI requires more than a console.
[1] Well, you can, but that involves basically riding the hardware.

We can draw straight lines and boxes with simple c or c++ console programs because MS-DOS supports the Extended Ascii character set (characters above 127 decimal). But forget doing circles, curves or anything more complicated with standard console programs.
