How to create a dialog in Win32 without IDE?
-
First of all: I have a Win32-console application. Compiler BC/C++ 5.5 (console only). Right now, I receive all startup parameters from command line and everything is great. But now, I need to change comand-line application to a semi-GUI. It means to show a small dialog window at start. This dialog will have several text fields, buttons Ok/Cancel and a progress bar. Since I have no IDE, I can not use any tutorials from this site or any other "beginner tutorials". Can anybody give me an example, how to create simple dialog window in Win32 application in console environtment? Ps: I have some experience in "GUI witout IDE" in Photon and KDE environmnets (pure C) and will be glad if it is possible to do the same in Windows.

Maybe this article helps? PS. This kind of question would be better in "Visual C++" forum, even if you are using Borland's compiler.
