HI I did 3 years of C++ at university, at the time working on borland C++. I think its about time I learned how to code in C++ properly so I can produce desktop applications. The thing is I have no idea where to start. Would you suggest using MS software for this. The last thing I want is to be playing around with a little black console windows and sending and receiving standard output in this (thats what i did at uni and it doesnt interest me). I want really windows applications. Does anyone know what libraries I will need, and the best way to get started?

Use the windows API commands, they can be found at msdn.com. If you are going to be working with sending & receiving windows messages, you'll be using API commands.
