Hey all,

Im currently picking up all the basics in C and everything is going well so far. One question I have is what is used when creating Windows applications, Buttons and Windows ect?

Im pretty lost on where to start with it, so far all i've been doing is console stuff,

Thanks!

Izzer

Usually people use some sort of pre-made graphics library. I don't know of any for C but I know Borland and Microsoft have one for C++.

The C language does not have support for those things. You need to make API calls to the operating system, which can be fairly complicated. Start with a book on C (Teach yourself C in 21 days is not bad) and go from there.

No. API calls are a whole other bag of worms. Worry about learning C before you try to get fancy. C is a console based language. You can look up information about API calls by doing a google search for API and whatever your OS is.
