No graphics library?! What do you mean? It depends on what do you call "graphics". And what is C++? Native or C++/CLI?

Of course there is a graphics library, in fact there are two[^].

Visual C++ comes with many sample applications. Some of which demonstrate using OpenGL or Direct X. You can also use the GDI to do simple graphics.

Hi,
There is an open source graphics library called OpenGL which works very well with Visual Studio.
You can google to find out more about this library.
Here are the easy steps[^] for installing and running it with Visual Studio. There are around 18 tutorials (if i remember correctly) in total, which cover the basics of how to use the OpenGL APIs. This link is for the first one.

Although the tutorial is for VS2010, but i hope steps will not be very different for VS2012 so you can give it a try .

Also I must mention that DirectX is also a great option on Windows platform .[^]

Hope this helps.
