Hi there,
I'm acctually learning c++ and I have done several programs but they
only execute on the dos window...however i wanted to know if we can
actually program something that runs in a normal window like...let's
say msn messenger where the program runs on graphic features...with
the buttons and all that....
thanks for the help

Yes, you can, and "msn messenger" is most probably written in C++.

However, it's off-topic in this group since it only involves how to use
system-specific libraries and tools.

Better post in one of the groups listed in the FAQ; see <url:

Even better, how about programming something that works on Windows,
Mac, X11, etc:
