Creation of windows programs

[Batho]

Hello all! I am new to this pragramming thing and I am enjoying it but I am lazy to go through all the notes i.e. Functions, Algorithm, Arrays, Namespaces, etc. Is this stuff important to learn and know it?, though I am able to write simple programs, now I want to create programs that will be installable on windows, is it possible to do that with Code::blocks?

[some random dude]

Yes, everything on this tutorial is very important to know, remember, and fully understand: http://cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/

Also do you mean a GUI application, that uses a real window and not ran through the command prompt? If so yes, of coarse. Learn the Win32 API here: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

If you're planning on doing Windows programming then learn the Windows API. In the future, try posting questions regarding Windows programming in this forum:

I've done it on Dev C++ by Bloodshed. But I think it's harder on Code::Blocks, as some say.

[some random dude]

An IDE doesn't change the code. The Win32 API is the same on Dev-C++ as it is on Code::Blocks.

I didn't mean the IDE changed the code I mean that the IDE of Code::Blocks doesn't easily support GUIs.

That's what I've heard.

Oh, actually no. I use code::blocks for all my C++ programming these days, and when I was learning I used Dev-C++. Code::Blocks and Dev-C++ have a very easy project settings layout that allows you to select a GUI application as your project with just a click on "GUI Application" and not "Console Application".

I feel more used to Dev though.

Code::Blocks feels a little different to me, thus, making me feel less comfortable using it.

But eventually I'll probably have to because Dev C++ sucks, even though I like it.

But still I heard some one say that Code::Blocks has trouble using a GUI interface....But basically every IDE handles a console application interface.
