Learning C++ and constructing a GUI.

[RelentlessChaos]

Hey guys, I'm a CS student at a community college and I was wondering, when do schools (if they do, maybe at the university?) teach C++ programming and using it's code for a GUI?

I'm in my last class for C++ and I've taken all available VB classes, but for C++ (up to this point) it's been all about our code and the console.

I have no idea how using a GUI with C++ code would work and my school doesn't teach it.

So ... how does it work? I use Visual Studio to code in C++.

- Thank you! I am just wondering. Would be nice to know.

Unless you use a library, for the most part programming a UI would be OS dependent I believe. If you are on windows a quick search for "WIN32 API" will pull up a few things that may help you.

Take a look at this article http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/simple_window.html
this gives you the code in chunks and explains each part, for more info you can also read the MSDN article: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb384843.aspx

I hope this helped.
