Solution 1

You can use Win32, MFC or C++/CLI depending on your requirements. There are lots of articles here on CodeProject[^] with samples that will help. You can also go to the Windows Desktop Development page[^], MFC section[^] or the C++/CLI section[^], all on MSDN.

Sir, actually i am asking a solution in borland C++ 5. I have no expertise in using visual C++. When i used visual C++ it just errors upon compiling saying that the associated .exe cannot be located. Visual C++ builds forms on its own. But i am required to explain its function also from top to bottom clearly. I am no expert in using windows based .NET or ActiveX Objects. The only thing i know is something about windows.h. When i entered something similar to drawing , the editor popped up a box showing some related drawing functions. But all are based on some complicated C++ classes , which i haven't seen in my books.

The functions in the MFC sections , i belive can be used only with visual C++. Borland C++ 5 does not even recognize #using preprocessor commands but has windows.h header files.

A pity you did not mention that in your original question. Here are some links that may be more useful.

Sir, the links does not direct me to anything relevant to window box creation instead it tells about borland C++ only.
