^^Yes this is what peoples call Borland C++.

@OP Check *www.thinkdigit.com/forum/programming/150201-how-build-gui-c.html. We have discussed the same thing just a week ago.

I guess you want to learn Visual Studio ( Visual C++ )..
For that I suggest "Ivor Horton's Beginning Visual C++ 2010"...
Great book.. it will teach you GUI coding using MFC as well as by using .NET framework...
This book is great for beginners... mind you the book is very detailed.. will teach everything from loops to functions.. don't skip those portions... Also it is written for those using VS Studio 2010 Professional or higher....

After mastering this I guess you can switch to QT?
