Text editor c++ gui

[Ticbow]

I'm trying to practice my c++ by making a mock text editor for console applications like that of the MS-DOS editor, but I don't know how to make a toolbar that can be navigated with "alt" and the keyboard. any ideas?

you can try something like this

there are probably others out there that do similar things.

ms edit used an advanced library that I don't think still exists for 64 bit. It supported mouse and much more...
