Well ive been a DOS programmer for quite some time, but getting into advanced programming, i bought a C++ book, helps a lot, but im working on a program I couldnt find tips for online, so here's what im trying to do:
1) Ok, so if you've ever seen the Wii or DSi, some form of menu like that.
2) In regards to that, if not, how would I create a directory, like if you look on Windows 7 or Vista, with the Menu, where you click on a program and it starts, thats what I want this program to do.
3) How do I get this to pop up in a regular window, like any other program, instead of a Command Prompt screen because that looks really cheap.
4) How do you put those links in your program like in the Microsoft help they have Internet links, almost like how HTML has <a href=SITE>Link Text</a> but that in C++.
The project itself is for a bit of a school project, I gotta link a few Emulators into a massive directory, I was going to do this in DOS, but it looked ***** and the START command is giving me issues.
Sorry if I seem like a noob, but I only have a book and Google. ;D
If you're using Windoze, I don't know what to recommend for you, but SFML is usually decent, and it's only a couple steps off of OpenGL. I'm assuming from your post that you're basically trying to learn to build graphical interfaces...
