making multiple windows

[kirenemook12]

Hello everyone
I am trying to make a app. witch uses windows that pop-up if a button is pressed.
the problem is, i don't know how to make more than one window. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
I am using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Express, in a Win32 file.

I'm guessing your wanting to load a second form from a button click?, if so watch this video tutorial.

Also google "visual c++ MessageBox Class" & "visual c++ dialogresult"...

i don't use a windows form.
the second window has to receive input from the keyboard and mouse either.
i had tried to use the createWindow() function, but that did not work.

Have you studied this tutorial ?

in that tutorial, I understood that i need to compile it as C, but i am using C++, or is it exactly the same?

You can compile C code as c++ with no problems. All win32 api functions are C, none of them are pure c++.
