I need to create a map editor that will allow players to change what they want displayed on their game maps at any point in the game. What I want to do is create the interface(GUI) using Visual C++ and write the code in C using traditional windows programming. The problem I''m having is that I''m not familiar with how to program in Visual C++, but I think it''s easy enough to use to create the editor interface. Is it possible to incorporate the GUI code into my C code which has the standard WinMain and WinProc? Am I wasting my time here by trying to use both languages or should I just stick to one of them?

If your using MFC then you can''t have your own WinMain since MFC already provides one for you. If you *dont* want to use MFC, but simply want to use VC++''s GUI editors, than just use them to create a resource file. (of course, you need to understand how to use resource files if you don''t already -- A good book that covers that is Programming Windows 95 by Charles Petzold)
