That depends entirely on your development environment and we have no way of knowing that without you telling us.

You know, your question sounds like: "they gave me the canvas, the brushes, the colors, now, how can I paint the masterpiece?".

Right.

"...commonly they just teach how to make stupid drawings and paintings, but how do I build masterpieces and get displayed at the major galleries?" :-)

The answer: "Start using your own stupidity, not only stupidity of those art courses, and start observing and thinking, until the stupid drawings and paintings turn into the great ones". :-)

The question makes no sense at all. Those "stupid programs" is also software.
Essentially, you are asking, "how to do software development?" No forums can tech that. Nothing can replace systematic education and actually doing software development.

You might look some open source project and learn how they are built...

You do it by researching, studying, designing and coding. First thing to do is write your requirements specification. If you are still learning, then I would suggest going to the CodeProject Articles section[^] and looking at some of the articles. You can also go to EFNet #Winprog[^] and Win32 Programming - FunctionX[^] for more useful tutorials.

Think of an application or library you'd like to write in C++ and then write it in C++

That's like an engineer asking how to make something exactly like a car.

Design.
Implement.
Test.
