    Make A Window with c++

    Hi everyone! I wonder if someone have a good tutorial where i can learn how to come out from the console and create a window with some buttons on? Please help and give a good link/thread (i have looked on the website) or any c++ code that i can look on. (im new)
    Thanks...

    So... the program starts in cmd window, then a window appears?

    If that's the case and you're using Windows, I would create two different apps. One for the console, then one windows app. I would then use ShellExecute() to display the window. If you need them to communicate, read up on IPC.

      If you want to learn some basics on windows programming I really like this web site. If you really want to start with windows applications you may want to look into starting with some C# stuff too.

        Totally depends on the OS your are using. I would surgest Qt.
        Qt is a multiplatform C++ GUI toolkit. It provides application developers with all the functionality needed to build applications with state-of-the-art graphical user interfaces. Qt is fully object-oriented, easily extensible, and allows true component programming.
        It works on both linux widnows and os x.
        There is loads of information on it out there. Just google for Qt tutorial and you'l get lots of stuff.
        If you don't want to buy it you can use the opensource version(totally free). It has everything that the non opensource version has, except you are not allowed to sell your applications. Its meant for opensource development.
        good luck!
