Operating systems of the Windows family are the most common operating systems for desktop computers. They also have a significant share of the mobile OS market. As a result, Windows programming is in great demand. Programmers who know how to create Windows applications are also in demand.
Necessary
Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0
Instructions
Step 1
Begin the process of creating a new project in the Microsoft Visual C ++ IDE. Select File and New… from the main application menu, or press Ctrl + N. The New window will appear. In the New dialog, enter the name of the project in the Project name field and the location in the Location field. Select the item corresponding to the project type from the list. For example, you should select Win32 Console Application to develop a console program, Win32 Application to create a bare skeleton of a windows application, or MFC AppWizard (exe) to get a stub of an application built on the basis of the MFC library. Click OK.
Step 2
Generate project files. On the pages of the wizard that appears, enter the necessary values and set the preferred options (the appearance of the wizard pages will depend on the type of project). Click the Next button to go to the next page. On the last page, click Finish.
Step 3
Develop a windows application interface. Switch to the Resources tab in the project window. Add resources for menus, dialogs, icons, toolbars, rasters. Add controls to dialogs, items to menus, buttons to toolbars, etc.
Step 4
Develop the application logic by writing the required programming code. Implement the logic of the interface, the logic of working with data, business logic, etc. This stage will be the main one in the creation of the application.
Step 5
Build the project. Select Build from the main Visual C ++ menu, select Build from the child menu again, or just press F7. Wait for the moment when the build process is over.
Step 6
Run the created windows application. Press the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F5, or select Build and Execute from the main menu. Test your application. Make sure that all implemented functionality works correctly.
