AppWizard
Creating Windows Applications
Visual C++ has a wizard called AppWizard that creates the outline of a
working Windows application for you. You then use the ClassWizard and
other tools to add to the application. The following will talk you through
some beginning examples. All were tested under Visual C++ 5.0.
- Dialog-based interface (Write a simple
Windows app to find the area of a rectangle. Then try a Windows
calculator program.)
- Single document interface (Write a Windows
app that uses a single document interface and that draws some graphics.)
- Multiple document interface (Create a
Windows app that uses a multiple document interface. The exercise
has you create a simple text editor.)
