I'm taking another shot at learning C++ but I was wondering how would I porgram a simple Hello World with graphics? Say I wanted it to come up and say Hello World with fancy text instead of Command Prompt.

Some Basics:

Code:

private: System::Void pictureBox1_Paint(System::Object^  sender, System::Windows::Forms::PaintEventArgs^  e) 
{
    System::Drawing::Drawing2D::LinearGradientBrush^ myBrush = gcnew   System::Drawing::Drawing2D::LinearGradientBrush(ClientRectangle, Color::Blue, Color::Yellow, System::Drawing::Drawing2D::   LinearGradientMode::Horizontal);
    System::Drawing::Font^ myFont =  gcnew System::Drawing::Font(L"Calibri", 18);
    e->Graphics->DrawString(L"Test", myFont, myBrush, 10, 10);

If that helped any...
