Question

How would you make system calls in a c++ program for windows, as the system() method allows for system commands, also what’s the difference between the two?

EDIT: I mean difference between system calls and system commands

EDIT: I have found that system commands are commands that you can run in cmd, you can also call these through the system() method, but I still don’t know how to make system calls

This is a basic question. Find a tutorial online or a book. Also, MSDN has documentation on most of the Win32 functions.

#include <windows.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
    MessageBox(NULL, "Hello, World", "My First Win32 Call", MB_OK);
    return 0;
}
