    If you have a well defined class hierarchy for the various shapes, you can implement serialization in an effective way.
    If not you can simple save the various shapes using their formulas as a binary file.

    You can use the >> and << operators to save and load.

    There's no way you'll be able to program C++ without documentation and MSDN is a great source for it. You can't come here every time you have a documentation question.

    MSDN has a sample application called Scribble that shows you how to do what you're asking. I'd recommend finding a way to get access to it.
