I would answer this properly, but, here is my very important recommendation.

Don't use Dev-C++!

It isn't really maintained (last release was in 2005), it is mostly meant for beginning programmers (I learned from it myself), its a pain to do anything it was not meant to do.

I would suggest Visual C++ Express, Eclipse CDT, or Code::Blocks. If you have a computer that's pretty new, then, Netbeans.

If you are willing to use these technologies, a lot of people will gladly give you answers.

I wrote a procedure for Code::Blocks on Win32 a little while back.
