I think he's looking for an OOP approach, that code is basically C
translated to D.

There are some OOP libraries he can use, like DGUI or DFL. And there
are some OOP wrappers for WinAPI somewhere (probably on dsource).
Maybe http://pr.stewartsplace.org.uk/d/sdwf/ or
http://www.dsource.org/projects/minwin. I think these two might be
slightly outdated by now though.

project if it's worthwhile.

OT  Andrej
The MONO folks are using Cairo to rebuild MS NET System.Drawing and 
System.Drawing2D. I wonder if this could be an approach for DGUI.
I quess my question is : using CAIRO or GDI+  as Graphic engine for DGUI.
TIA

Does DGUI intend to become cross-platform at any time? If not, then
you could pick whichever system you're used to the most. You wouldn't
be limited to just GDI+ if that's what DGUI will use, all you need for
Cairo is a backbuffer to draw to which you can later blit to some
widget area of DGUI.

Yes. I know a bit of C (not C++) and the Windows API. Now I'd like to learn
more about OOP.
That's what I've found so far, both are for C++ programmers

Wel..I'm not sure. Should I learn C++ before D? Thank you everybody.

I'm not really sure if that is the best strategy for learning 
OOP, even in C++. Though I guess it could give the before an 
after effect of an API. But going with C++ you'd just be learning 
a lot about C++ and that overhead would mask the learning about 
OOP.

D doesn't really have tutorials on OOP, that I know of. There are 
some examples about class and objects, but no true OOP tutorials 
(actually these are hard to find).

If you want to do some GUI with OOP then DFL isn't bad, 
documentation and tutorial are exactly complete, but it might 
give you some thing to work with. And the Entice designer can 
help build some code for you to look at (I've used it to find 
what classes I need and their options :P)
