I am using the Quincy IDE. And I want to begin building programs in C/C++. I know the basics. But how do you build a file menu? |

For that you're going to have to use the Win32 API, or something like MFC. These are not for the timid. If you really want to build Windows GUIs, I strongly advise using C# and the .Net libraries. Before investing time in that, though, consider a cross platform toolkit. |

If you want to stick with C/C++ and still be cross platform I'd recomend SDL (it can also be used with OpenGL); or wx Windows (not sure if that's still what it's called). Both are cross platform to at least windows and linux (X11), and probably MacOS too (X11 and maybe coco or carbon). |
