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?
Go one step further. Use Windows DiskCleaner (the advanced version)
Open an elevated command prompt:
Click Start, type cmd, hold CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER. An elevated prompt should open. In this prompt copy/paste press Enter.
cmd.exe /c Cleanmgr /sageset:65535 & Cleanmgr /sagerun:65535
Disk Cleaner should be opened with a few more options. Check all the boxes and click OK. It may take a while, let it finish. You should see a gain in space on the scale of GBs.
I'd rather just wait for the Snipping Tool update to officially roll out. If I can't wait I'd Just use ShareX from the Microsoft Store for the same functionality...
