building a quick project in Visual c++

[magezi]

I have just got a Visual studio(6.0)CD and installed C++.I have some knowledge of C/C++ I now would like to have a quick start at using C++; How can I build a project which should have:
(1) A simple menu bar
(2) some menu options which if clicked should enable me to perform a task.

Open Visual C++
Click on File | New.
In the Projects tab click on MFC AppWizard (exe)
Give it a project name such as TestProject and click OK.
Select Single Document or Multiple Document and click Next.
Keep on selecting the Features you want to include and Click Next.
On Step 6 of 6 you can select the basclass that your project uses. Than click Finish.
You can Build and Execute your project and see the shell of the application. You will need to add functionality for it to realy do anything though.

Hope this gets you started.

Why don't you try with SDK approach...as it will teach you a lot...Problems with MFC apps is that most of the things are handled internally...so you never come to know what the flow is..
Take this approach
1.New Project
2.Select Win32 Application
3.A typical "Hello World" application

and it will make a GDI app which will have some menus for you.It will give you the opportunity to develop/modify it further

Thanks alot people I have just seen some bit of light here. I dont know whether I will have to bother my self with the .rc and .def files I used to have in windows programming at school.

Nevertheless, Pleaese dirct me to a particular website if it exists they may have some more usefull guidelines.
