    Point me to a Windows API Tutorial...

    I'm using notepad and Digital Mars Compiler to do C++. I'd like to start using WinAPI components to avoid all-command prompt programs. Anyway, can someone point me to a (non-visual C++) tutorial for WinAPI in C++? (if it isn't possible to use WinAPI in regular C++, please tell me)

    You can use winapi with c and c++, no difference.

    Sure it's possible but why not use some kind of IDE? It doesn't have to be Microsoft Visual C++ but using some kind of visual IDE will greatly speed up your development process. Handwriting resource files is by no means fun.
    Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.
