Default eVC++ Hello World
OK, I'm taking my first stabs at VC++, and this is really interesting. I'm coming from a VB background.

I'm trying to play around with the most simple possible Hello World program I can start out with. I'm actually amazed at the complexity of the sample that Microsoft supplies. It has almost 200 lines of code just to say "hello world!" Yikes!

Can anyone familiar with eVC++ help me pare this down? Or point me in the direction of a different (more simplified) sample? The Microsoft sample includes things like a "Help/About" info subform, an actual Menu Bar, and other items that are complicating the project beyond what I'm trying to wrap my mind around at this point.


What I've done so far:

1) I downloaded eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0 (Core developer environment)

2) Patched it with Service Pack 4 (Latest service pack)

3) Added the Mobile Application Development Toolkit (Device specific SDK)

4) Downloaded the Developer Resources for Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition (Sample apps)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

5) Opened the sample Hello World at
