I want to develop a (native) Windows application in C++ with forms. Right now I am using CodeBlocks as my IDE. I found this link (http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/) under the thread titled "Newbie C++ Help" but I have heard that the tutorial is not very good (plus, it is in C not C++).
What is the best way to learn how to write C++ Win32 applications with forms? Is there an IDE available that can automate the generation of the code when designing the form?
Edit: Would Visual C++ 6 (before all this .NET crap started) be the best way to go?
yeah i did some research and it seems they removed (or didn't carry over) the ability to change desktop icon fonts.....hopefully they bring it back for you soon...and yeah it also seems the ability to change the font has also been removed unless you adjust through registry or win aero.
if you haven't already, maybe trying to "adjust cleartype text" may help you. i tried running through it and noticed there were some bold font styles.
welcome (or bye haha) to windows 2025 btw!
Support cost cutting and nudging people to upgrade for profit. Pure and simple. Nothing as noble as hardware actually becoming "obsolete" about most of the hardware requirements from Apple, Microsoft, or Android companies either. iMac 2017 with AMD running legacy Core still have native GPU support in macOS 15 and run perfectly fine. Doesn't even need any fancy patching outside of the minimum patching needed to get macOS 15 on the system to bypass Apple system requirements aking to running windows 11 on a PC that doesn't match the arbitrary CPU generation requirements that make you bypass them too.
You can usually tell if hardware is truly in the realm of "obsolete" if you are having a hard time finding a major Linux distro that'll install on it.

I have no problems with Firefox's performance whatsoever.
I suspect the reason Firefox is lagging in market share is that average consumers haven't heard of it and are fine with what was installed on their systems.
