whats the equivilance of:
cout << "the screen size is: " << x;
or
printf("the screen size is: %d", x);
in winapi

is there a way to print the ints like that in winapi?
i can't find a way to do that with textout or drawtext.

From the looks of it, you should be able to put an integer value in the string itself and have TextOut just output it all.

after reading a few chapters in Charles Petzold Book
i found:

int iA =12, iB = 7;
int iLength;
TCHAR szBuffer[40];

iLength = wsprintf(szBuffer, "The sum of %i and %i is %i", iA, iB, iA + iB);
TextOut(hdc,x, y, szBuffer, iLength);

and thanks Hyper, i didn't understand how wsprintf works at first but your explanation of wsprintf helped me understand it
