Hello World application is -- usually -- all programmers first program. This might be your first step on programming
world. Let's get started.
First of all, you will need a visual C++ programm from microsoft <duh!>. Double-click to open it and choose create
a new project workspace.
A visual workspace will show up. This will consist toolbars, workspace pane, editor area, and geeky things like that :).
Use the Application Wizard to create the application framework. The wizard will ask you about the features you
wanted to add on your new application. Uncheck the ActiveX Control features since it's a simple program and we
will not use it.
In the field near the bottom, delete the project name and rename it as you wish (this name will appear on your program's title bar).
Click next.
Still in the AppWizard, leave all defaults and click next to the final step of AppWizard setup.
Final step of AppWizard setup will show you the C++ classes that AppWizard will create for your application. Click finish.
There will be some list of what you have choosed on the application shell. Click OK.
As you might notice, the workspace pane now presents you with a view of the classes in your application shell.
You can edit what button do what function in here, but since this is your first program, we won't discuss that.
Select Build -> Build Filesname.exe to compile it.
Voila! Your first application has been created :)
