Anyone good with Dev C++? Need windows help.

Does Dev C++ work as a console app or is it windows based? Does it have a windows framework?
I have never used Dev C++, but if you want to get into windows programming real fast, then it is better to use C++ Builder from Borland corp. If Dev C++ doesn't have a windows frame work to work with, the it is tough.
It is not that easy to program from scratch in windows, but if you are comfy with things like Rendering Contexts, Device contexts, handles and very good with pointers, it should not be a problem, but it is not easy.
You can download a free compiler from borland too and it will compile windows apps. It is the core of C++ builder, but it is a little tough in the beginning, but what the heck, it is free.

Dear Krang,
I had same prob with Dev-C++.
Insert the line
system ("PAUSE"
;
just before return 0;
and this will hold the output screen.
Dev-C++ version 5 is somewhat better and now available.
Quincy2002 is the easiest IDE (integreated development environment) that I have used and free also. The FTP site is often not working so try another day.
Good beginner books available from Amazon.com are:
Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days Complete Compiler Edition (4th Edition), and
Standard C++ Bible.
Good Luck,
Vince LaPorte
