Answer 1

You are referring to Win32 programs, like this:

If you don't already know C++, you should start with that. You can start learning C++ with these video tutorials:

http://xoax.net/comp/cpp/console/index.p...

They are perfect for beginners. This one can get you started by showing you how to install a free compiler:

Here are some simple games with code downloads that you can use to get some ideas:

These tutorials can get you started with graphics programming in OpenGL:

You can go through the tutorials and if you have questions on them or anything else in C++, please post to me here:

If you're making command line applications, you wouldn't be messing with WinMain and WinProcs.  I assume you're trying to make a Win32 GUI application, and don't know where to start.  Try these websites:

http://winprog.org/tutorial/

http://www.relisoft.com/win32/index.htm

http://www.functionx.com/win32/index.htm

I've used them all before, they're good.  If you want a book, try Programming Windows by Charles Petzold, ISBN: 1-57231-995-X.  That is probably the most complete book on Windows programming ever written.
