Hi,
i'm relatively new to programming in C, but i think i have some basic knowledge about arrays,pointers,structures
I would like to know how to create some simple program with GUI under win32 platform. Is there any understandable tutorial which would guide me step by step through? /web page, book etc/ I'm asking becouse when programming under JAVA, you need not to care about many things, simple GUI is created so fast. But in C, i simply tried to copy one program from a book by Herbert Schildt about C. But it crashed . I would really like to know the basics about it. I downloaded Borland C++ 5.5 command line tools which include compiler etc.

If you want just the GUI, VB is good and easy to learn. Java is also good but takes some time.
In C, you can use graphics.h, and write the statement
initgraph(<parameters>)
The last parameter is the path to bgi file, e.g. c:\\tc\\bgi
and you can very fast create simple graphics, and menu buttons using the help. This was in TurboC. I hope it's also in Borland.

I'm not certain; I'm not yet experienced with this stuff, but, unfortunately, it's going to be quite difficult to build a GUI using it. You can get simple source code fairly easily (maybe try some of Nullsoft's small programs for example).
But for Windows development, you want MS VC++ or C# even, maybe.
C is more commonly used for command-line programming, especially on UN*X platforms.
