Answer 8

Martin Taylor Yes but i dont understand if he has only ide or ide+compiler package... VS is a good ide (or was, i dont know now) but he must prepare to download much data (codeblock is tinier than VS and has all features needed for learner)... Anyway i think that at start is better use some library (like wxWidgets) and not Windows API directly, but thus will choose Otumian Empire

Answer 9

@Sreejith I prefer c/c++ but thanks

Answer 10

@Martin Taylor thanks for the link

Answer 11

Its most that dont use windows sdk when i dont know news about it but you are downloaded it? This is a collection of libs, headers, resources and tools for make applications on and for windows

Answer 12

Personally, I prefer Qt for developing GUI based applications using C++. Qt is cross platform and is user friendly. It supports visual GUI builder if you don't wanna code all the GUI stuffs and it provides rich sets of libraries for audio, graphics, database, networking and so on ..

Answer 13

Yes i have presumed that he develops on windows (when he tell that has read to install MVS) but effectivly its not clear and same its if he has succesfull compiled a sample GUI program... Anyway, like i tell before, though handle Windows Api directly is good because you can has more control on system, is cumbersome also... Try something simpler like wxWidget or Qt, i used they time ago and like me but i dont have used other gui libs when i dont know if exist another better (that is relative word).... I repeat, for me you have to read overview of they and choose which like you

P.S. If you use Win Api your code will run only on windows
