It depends on your OS (I'm assuming Windows). You need to use the API, which will probably require you to include an appropriate header, such as window.h.

Posted via CodeCall Mobile well since there is no standard way to create window in c/c++ u will have to use an external gui library such as windows.h,wxwidgets, qt so basically u can't avoid using an external library there are drag and drop tools for these libraries that u can use to create windows visually

It has no sense at all to use an external lib to just create a window !!!
Windows.h is just an include for Win32 api, which is the base in Windows

To create a window you have to have access to the operating systems structure. The only way to assess the structure of the program is to use its api. Since you have to use its api you must use the libraries that come with the api.
In the case of windows the access to that api is windows.h, the function included in that file are what you need to create the window. It makes no sense to try and create something as low level as the function needed to simply create a window.
Even if you wanted to create a directX window you still need to include windows.h.
Perhaps if you explained what you are wanting to do a little better then we could help you out more.
