I use gcc & g++ in Cygwin to build my programs in Windows Xp.


I would like to know how to develop a simple window based
application(just a simple window with close button). Also i don't like
to use any support of 3rd party libraries like MFC,qt etc, PLease
suggest me the free online books,links to refer to develop this.

»Programming Windows« by Charles Petzold (book).

The basics are not different for C++ than for C, so better try
to find a /Microsoft® Windows/ programming newsgroup than a
C++ newsgroup.

I personally do not even use RC files, but also build the resource
descriptions (e.g., dialog descriptions) in C++ at run-time.
Some examples programs for this programming style (also free
from MFC and other additional libraries) are listed on my
German language web page:

Another book featuring Microsoft® Windows programming in C++:
