Ok in my Class XI days I learned about graphic.h and its functions from default help in TC++
Right Click and graphic.h.. the examples are very helpful and self explanatory

please can u provide the link for a basic version of visual c++ compiler coz i want to learn c++ programming under windows. tried searching but got really confused so plsssss provide the link.

i did download "visual basic 2005 express edition" from microsoft.com but there are 2 problems:
1.it downloads the files online which is not possible as i have dialup
2.it's setup requires huge free space (1.8 GB C which i don't have

so can u please provide link for a basic version that's small in size.

thankss

did you try devcpp? Need to do a bit of hacking around to get it to work for winsock and stuff in xp, but works just fine for other needs. Why don't you google and get that? No other good quality vc++ compilers are available.
Oh, BTW, I don't think mfc works in devcpp, but i may be wrong. Just check it out.
