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?
Author/Neowin... The title is incorrect and misleading...
By the official blog post, it's not "indefinitely". There's a clear statement that development continues with a few specific target areas, and a new release date TBD and announced later.
If it is later announced to be cancelled or delayed indefinitely, that's another story.
I hate Microsoft. My parents almost lost all drive content. As senior citizens they are unable to follow constant "improvements" Microsoft is dropping on its users. My mother's laptop is normally unlocked with a PIN. It is unexplicable for non-It person, that there is some cloud mictosoft account, that has a different password than the Pin and user ID is e-mail, but not necessarily normal Gmail addree, and even if the person knows this email address the password is not the password used for this email account. Just too much of twists. Suddenly her laptop ordered entering "decryption key" before booting. It was miracle we managed to guess email address associated with the PC that was used for Microsoft account. She would had lost everything on the drive. Why are they doing this? Privacy may be important for some people, but data loss is much more important for most of the people.
Yesterday I've got a notification that Windows Hello couldn't recognize me and asked if I would like to improve it after I manually entered my PIN in the dark If it weren't for an article like this, I would still think that there's something wrong with my camera. I can just imagine how many people are not reading tech news and are still confused.
