Overview: Creating a Win32 Program

|  Overview |  How Do I |  Details | 

A Win32 program is an executable application (.EXE) written in C or C++, using calls to the Win32 API rather than to MFC classes.

Visual C++ will create workspace and project files for your program, that you then add your own code to. There are two steps to this process. First, you use the Application icon to create project files for your program. Next, you prepare your program for use by modifying the source code that the wizard added (if any) or by adding source code files to the project.
