Hello,
I am new to make programs. So far I can just do logical stuff like math in a dos window. I now want to move on to making actual windows programs. Does anyone know how to make a GUI in C++ for a windows application? Any reading online or in a book that I can look up? And I was also wondering once you have your code and your GUI how to make the code become the program?
Any help would be great,
Thanks
