I need help

[dburford11]

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.

Ok I will try that.

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).
