newbie- window graphics and Borland C++ 5.02

[Guest_imported]

I have Borland C++ 5.02 and have done some simple console programs. Could somebody explain to me how to create a simple windows program and draw graphics (pixels, lines, circles, etc.) in the window? Example source code would also be useful.

Thx.

I think you need a book or a tutorial. Some lines wont help you very much. You cannot start windowws programming without reading a book written by a qualified person.

Perhaps someone could direct me to a good tutorial? I haven't been able to find any books for Borland at book stores where I live...

Just type "beginning Windows programming" into a search engine (Google, Yahoo, Lycos, etc) and stand aside! There is plenty of info available and most of it is free.

Thanx everyone for your help. I was able to find the following tutorial and have now actually written a windows application that creates a window and draws some text, ellipses, and arcs in it...

Setzer, as a respond to what you said. I could, and I did begin to program without any books. What I did was to open BCB and just take a componenet here and there, look at the example programs, copy the code.. modify it a bit, and then reuse it!
It was really succesfull, at first. But when I stumbled into problems I really didn't understand why and what it was. So I looked up into help files, which gave me some or nothing. If that didn't work, I turned here but the problems is, that even if I learned what it was, I didn't really understand it; not always that is!!
It's not the best way to start, but IT is doable... My codes look like something a kid wrote
I have absolutely no idea what I am talking about
Somehow I still manage to make it work
