GUI Books

[compman9902]

First of all, thankyou for viewing this post.
I was just wondering, what is the best book for a nooby programmer on G.U.I. in C++?
I'd just like a list of suggestions.
Also, (just F.Y.I.) I do not have any experience with classes or pointers. Just keep that in mind. Thank you.

You will need to learn classes. You will need to learn pointers.

They these:
Programming Windows Charles Petzold (hard-code Windows programming)

C# Primer Plus Klaus Michelsen

Then learn the .NET Framework.

What is the .net framework?

That is the GUI used for web-based Windows applications that are coded in C#
or in some other language supported by .NET, like VB.BET or C++.NET.

You can use .NET API for C++? Wow, that's good to know. Is the setup any different?

It's called Visual C++.NET. Also known as Managed C++. And yes, the setup is different. You create your project as a CLR console or CLR empty project, or etc...

Then you have to use the Microsoft specific extensions to C++.

Back to the original topic, all I need to know is what a good book to buy for the specifications that I am looking for. Just something to teach me how to set up a window and manipulate the various functions of the GUI protocalls.
