Hi, when its comes to Win32 & stuff, the things I do the most like creating a window @ the start of the program or setting display mode in DirectX I create a program which uses fstream & streams the code to the cpp & h files in my project. The program gives me choices along the way like creating diffrent mouse cursors or choosing from file , it also helps me choose create a menu & dlg just by answering questions. If you intrested in it go to planet-source-code.com & search for Win32 creater

hope this helps WizHarD
