Just a simple Form, with a button, click the button and it shows "hello world!"

You'll probably want to start off with a console application.
It's not nearly as easy as VB.NET, and no where similar to it either.
Look up some tutorials on it.

I got it to work with a console app. I can't find any tuts for like what it would be called a "message box" in .Net

Oh man this C++ is intense, so much different than .Net
If I make a form, than put a button on it, I don't get where I put this code? Keeps giving me "Link" Errors.
| Code: | int DisplayResourceNAMessageBox()
{
int msgboxID = MessageBox(
NULL,
(LPCWSTR)L"Resource not available\nDo you want to try again?",
(LPCWSTR)L"Account Details",
MB_ICONWARNING | MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE | MB_DEFBUTTON2
);
switch (msgboxID)
{
case IDCANCEL:
// TODO: add code
break;
case IDTRYAGAIN:
// TODO: add code
break;
case IDCONTINUE:
// TODO: add code
break;
}
return msgboxID;
} |

Get the basics down with console stuff first before you jump into windows. THEN read http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/index.html and understand it.
Anyway...
| Quote: | If the function succeeds, the return value is one of the following menu-item values.
... |
int msgboxID is simply going to hold the return value of MessageBox, depending on what it returns, we do something.
| Code: | int msgboxID;
msgboxID = MessageBox(hWnd, "Text", "Title", MB_ICONWARNING | MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE | MB_DEFBUTTON2);
switch (msgboxID)
{
case IDCANCEL:
MessageBox(hWnd, "CANCEL", "1", MB_OK);
break;
case IDTRYAGAIN:
MessageBox(hWnd, "TRYAGAIN", "2", MB_OK);
break;
case IDCONTINUE:
MessageBox(hWnd, "CONTINUE", "3", MB_OK);
break;
} |

What don't you get? I'll try to explain it better.
But, sticking with the console for now might be a good idea... or you can just do it from the console heh.
| Code: | #include <windows.h>
int mb;
int main(){
mb = MessageBox(NULL, "Text", "Title", MB_ICONWARNING | MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE | MB_DEFBUTTON2);
switch (mb)
{
case IDCANCEL:
MessageBox(NULL, "CANCEL", "1", MB_OK);
break;
case IDTRYAGAIN:
MessageBox(NULL, "TRYAGAIN", "2", MB_OK);
break;
case IDCONTINUE:
MessageBox(NULL, "CONTINUE", "3", MB_OK);
break;
}
} |

I recommend reading this:
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/
If your going to go into Win32 API then you'll wanna read this as well:
http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/
And by Win32 API I mean what slovach's code snippet.
MessageBox is an API.
It's .NET Equivilent would be
MessageBox::Show(...)

Where do I put this? can you explain the steps for me just on how to make a form than add a button, than put this code into the button?
I think I can get started once I learn that.
and @Lurc, thanks for the links! I will check them out in a bit. 
| Code: | #include <windows.h>
int mb;
int main(){
mb = MessageBox(NULL, "Text", "Title", MB_ICONWARNING | MB_CANCELTRYCONTINUE | MB_DEFBUTTON2);
switch (mb)
{
case IDCANCEL:
MessageBox(NULL, "CANCEL", "1", MB_OK);
break;
case IDTRYAGAIN:
MessageBox(NULL, "TRYAGAIN", "2", MB_OK);
break;
case IDCONTINUE:
MessageBox(NULL, "CONTINUE", "3", MB_OK);
break;
}
} |

We can't help you if you know shit about the API or C++. Read the tutorials and start off with making a basic window. It will go into more difficult concepts. You are just trying to go with a snippet and force learn >.>
And what the hell sort of snippet is that anyways?
I suggest the winprog tut by forgey.

I don't get the point of making a window when you can make a form that already has a window?
And no one answered my question yet. What do I make? a Win32 App? or a CLR? Or is it just an empty project, and in the sourcle files I add .cpp?

That's not just a snippet, it's an entire console program. (That I brilliantly forgot to return 0 in)

CLR is managed code, you'd be right back to where you started.
You're getting ahead of yourself. Get the basics down, when you feel comfortable, go read the forgers stuff, and read it well. Win32 is simple enough to jump into if you have some footing... which you don't yet.
Some ideas, start off with your typical hello world in the console. Then maybe move onto a calculator. A calculator is a good project where you can put things like loops and handling input to use.
