[mepatuhoo]

ok so this is what i think i should be doing. i have a starting window and i have a button on it that i want to have open a new window(without closing the other ) and you do some stuff like change settings in the new window then at the end you can close it or save and close and the save and close i need to talk to a another computer and change or creat new settings but that ill get into latter i just want to work on when you press the button can i get it to open another window that is separet from the start exe or should i do somthing else and how should i do this.

Check out some windows programming tutorials, once you know how a windows app works, you can do just about anything. Beware though, it's not for the faint-of-heart!

If you want to use the Irrlicht GUI for this, it's simple just take a look at some of the sample code for the mesh viewer.

The YASS project just posted source and in that program they have windows that are in game menus, they might be a sample of what you are looking for.

just use a class like

class Window
{
protected:
//The device and eventreceiver and everything goes here
public:
Window()
{
//Build the Device and than run the window
run();
}
void run()
{
//The while for this window goes here
}
};
