C++ Template question?

[crunkbbfe]

I'm a beginner at writing C++ codes. I've made some .exe programs and i they all run by the DOS command coming up. Is it possible to instead of having one of those have a template... like lets say a browser like IE or to make a custom made one that you can use?

If so are there any tutorials on this or simple commands you would use?

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Thanks in advance

You could probably write a simple window template that other programs can use an instance of.

i.e

//A class that creates a window and has a method to write to that window
class window{
  ...
   void printToWindow(&string s)
  {
    //print s in the window rather than to the prompt;
  }
  ...

};

int main()
{
  window w;
  w.printToWindow("Hello World");
}

The above example isn't very good in terms of completeness, but a guideline at best.

I've used QT a few times before for making c++ gui's. It's fairly simple to learn and use, but it will take some time.

They have many simple example which I'm sure you could modify to suit your needs.
