  • Object Orientated Programming?
  • Microsoft Visual C++ Programming Apps for Beginners
  • Creating DirectX Games with VC++

Basically any help would be appricated, what shall I look for, where to start.

Learning C++ isnt easy and learning DirectX will be very difficult. Be prepared to spend a few months learning it. The win32api is also a bitch to program in.
 
You'll have to start with the basics and work your way up. Here are some great books : C++ Primer , Thinking in C++ (a book on OOP which is also available for FREE online 😀 just search on google.com for it), The C++ Programming Language, and Sams Teach Yourself C++ in 21 Days. Once you learn all about C++ in general you can move on into graphics and what not.
 
Well, programming in VC++ is easy, however, using Win32 API isn't. The best API book out there is Programming Windows 5th edition. You should also give MFC a try. Programming in DirectX is a subject of its own, and I wouldn't try it until you have mastered VC++.
 
Ok, so far I got 2 books. Because of previous knowledge, I have sort of flown through them.

So I have a good idea of the syntax, and I can program quite well within the DOS enviroment, but Im lost when it comes to building a program to use with Windows..

Man, using VB is much easier.. Can ne1 tell me what I am missing..

Or do I need to get a good API Book?

Or can ne1 recommend a good, "yeah you learn the C++ Syntax, but heres how to build an app to run in Windows!" book. 😀
