A window is a view into a program's current execution state; it typically shows the current state of the data. Windows can be organized to show a part of the data the application has loaded into memory, such as layers in a image editor, or a file in a directory for an Integrated Development Environment.

Explain you how you can impliment programme in c language without main function?

You can't. If you have no main function, then there is no entry point to your code and it cannot be executed. Code without a main function is essentially a library. In MS Windows, GUI mode, you don't have to have main function. (WinMain is used instead).


How does one make a C GUI application?

A Graphical User Interface (GUI) is, first and foremost, an event-driven program that runs on top of a command-line-driven operating system. Designing a GUI completely from scratch is not something to be undertaken lightly. The easiest way to create a GUI is to use a framework. Visual C++ provides the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) framework which allows you to build Windows applications that conform to the Windows GUI, whilst giving you the freedom to design your own elements that can interact with the GUI, even if they bear no resemblance to the standard GUI elements. However, you cannot alter the Windows GUI itself (globally, that is) as it is an intrinsic component of the operating system. Although you can manipulate GUI elements in real-time, this places a huge strain upon resources and will greatly impede the overall performance. Under Linux you have far greater freedom because the command-line-driven kernel is completely separate from the GUI, thus you are free to design your own. This allows you to completely alter the GUI in any way you see fit. Again, a GUI framework is the easiest way to begin as it provides all the basic elements of a GUI, including message queues, memory management and multi-tasking -- all you really have to do is design the visual aspects of each element.

What is the difference between windows 98 GUI and windows NT GUI?

The GUI of Windows NT 3.1 to 3.51 is virtually identical to that of Windows 3.1. They use a Program Manager, rather than a Start menu and taskbar. Windows NT 4's GUI is similar to that of Windows 95. However, it lacks some facilities like the Device Manager (since NT 4 is not truly Plug 'n' Play). Unlike Windows 98, Internet Explorer is not integrated into the shell, although it is optionally available.
