C++ Question

[Ravin' Rabbid]

I noticed with every C++ book I have come across none of them speaks about GUIs. Does C++ like not do GUIs ? Most books stay in the Console window.

What I am trying to do/learn: Software Development (More GUI based than console), Bot Development, General Hacking, Game Hacking, and Game Development.

Thanks in advance.

It can -> Use the Windows API to create/manipulate forms.

CreateWindow function (Windows)
and the rest.

But it's not designed into the 'core' of the language [1) that would make it less universal to other operating systems 2) more code to manage/update for the creator of C++ - he doesn't like that at all].

I recommend you try C#, unless you have solid reasons for using C++. By the time you learn to program well in C# and the (many) concepts of game hacking, you'll be ready to switch to C++, and have valid reasons for doing so.

For GUI's you need to use the Windows API, DirectX or OpenGL.

C++ can make windows(guis) with APIs like CreateWindowEx.
But there are also free libs like WxWidgets where you can create nice guis.
