Win32 Windows
January 09, 2003 05:14 PM
If I want to create a Win32 application without using MS Visual Studio.
How would I create a standard windows "window" instead of a console application?
I can''t figure it out for the life of me.
Thanks in advance.

Is your problem with the code to create a window, or compiling it? If you need the code i suggest http://winprog.org/tutorial if the problem is the compiler which compiler are you using?

You need a compiler/linker that is compatible with the Win32 libs - DevC++ works (AFAIK).
Then, you just set up your windows app in the normal way, with a WinMain() function etc. Include <windows.h>. Link to kernel32.lib, user32.lib, and gdi32.lib - and that should be all.
