GUI using Visual C++ 2010

[mikedapsyke]

As stated in the title i am trying to make a GUI in visual c++,
and i have not found any usefull information about this on google / youtube.

I have to make a simple program so that i can make a "shopping list".

basicly i have a input field, a add button and the list where i can see the text that i have added.

But how do i do it?

If you have to use the Win32 API directly, http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

To draw on screen like this, you must ask the operating system to do it for you.

The WIN32 API is the set of functions and classes and other such that are the means by which you ask the Windows operating system to do it. You can use the Win32 API directly yourself, or you can use a different set of tools (usually known as a widget toolkit) which handles the Win32 API stuff for you.

I just started GUI on windows yesterday. I followed these 8 tutorials and found them immensely helpful:
