Hey everyone, Sawman3 here. I'm relatively new to C++, and am currently taking a course at my high school to help solidify the basics. At the moment I am working on a pretty large project, and I have two questions (sorry if I sound like a total n00b).

1) How do I import images into Visual C++? For example, if I have two buttons that I'd like to make available in my software, how do I get them to appear?

2) This stems from question one. Once I have the icons included, how do I get C++ to take input based on a mouse click? I'd like to be able to have a menu system that is navigated with the mouse rather than with arrow keys and the enter key.

Thanks in advance
