Well I'm pretty new to every kind of programming/scripting language.

The thing is I'm learning C and all the things I make are dos based. How do you make win32 apps and does this take more coding etc? What programs do I need to make a windows program with a GUI.

Win32 apps can be made with C but without certain tools it will take forever to do it. Windows comes with 'libraries' (.dll files) that have the functions that you need to create a program with a windows GUI. You just need to be able to make use of these libraries (i.e. the functions in the libraries).

Microsoft's Visual Studio (both version 6 and .NET) give you a development environment that you can use to create programs for the windows OS with a GUI fairly easily (this can be done with VB6, C++, C#, VB.NET). This environment comes with some prebuilt *templates* that give you a good starting point for these types of applications. You can then 'drag n drop' various 'controls' (such as buttons, textboxes for input, drop down lists, etc) and build up your application from there.

So with Visual C Prog by microsoft they have a thing where you can drag and drop boxes? and then code what they do?

In Visual Studio.NET they have the tools that let you drag and drop 'controls' such as text boxes, drop down menu lists, labels, buttons, etc. You can do this in VB 6, VB.NET , C#, and in C++ (through MFC projects I believe). And then you can code the behavior or the methods that should be executed for instance when the button is clicked.

Is there a program thats affordable like this? VS.net is like 1500 dollars? I can't afford stuff like this.

VS.NET does have a trial version ( I think ) that you can download and use for free. If you are enrolled in college/university check w/ the comp sci dept. My university had partnership with MS called 'academic alliance' whereby students got free license for the 'educational version' of vs.net which is essentially the same but doesn't give u the license to commercialize anything u build.

Wouldnt the triail version run out? Therefor once I get the learning curve(maybe that short :P) then it would run out.

Does any one have anything to say about my last post?
