Start Visual Studio again.
Click
File -> New -> Project
Select Win32 Project for the project type. Choose a name, e.g. fltk_win32_app, and change project location to

Use C++ File (.cpp) for the type of the file. Name it main.cpp.
The empty main.cpp file automatically opens in the editor. Copy and paste the following code:
#include <Windows.h> // include Windows.h only if using WinMain
#include <FL/Fl.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Box.H>
#include <FL/Fl_Window.H>
// Use standard main to have console background:
// int main()
// Use WinMain if you don't want the console in the background:
int __stdcall WinMain(
__in HINSTANCE hInstance,
__in_opt HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
__in LPSTR lpCmdLine,
__in int nShowCmd
)
{
Fl_Window window( 200, 200, "My window title" );
Fl_Box box( 0, 50, 200, 20, "Hello" );
window.show();
return Fl::run();
}
