I wanted to learn C++, I got a book called Wiley’s
Teach yourself(standard C++). I learned a lot from the book, and have built a couple of programs. The book deals mainly in console operation std::cout and std::cin. I want to build window applications to take
Input and retrieve input, I guess I am talking about win32. I downloaded a program, but it was C and win32. Can C++ work with win32, and what is a good book to learn by, or a good program to download……. Jim

Win32 was not designed for an OO language. Since C++ can do everything C can, of course C++ can work with win32 just the same as C does. There is a wrapper around Win32 used by a lot of people called MFC that was designed for C++. You'll need some version of Microsoft Visual C++ and probably a book on it. It's much easier than using straight win32, but you should learn both. Also, if you really want to create windows applications I would recommend C#, it is a simpler language than C++ and was designed specifically for making applications - it's even easier than MFC.
