I was wondering can Qt do the same things as WinAPI? Like registry usage, gaming programming etc?

Registry is only on windows, so there is no Qt class to access it directly, instead you can use QSettings.


gaming programming etc?
There are some games developed with Qt, but SDL (http://www.libsdl.org/index.php) or something similar would be more appropriate.

Qt uses WinAPI to achieve its functionality :) It doesn't make WinAPI obsolete, although it frees developers from the need of using it directly in most cases.

Evry book I have read on programming Windows is nothing but C. :mad: Why isn't there anything for C++. I quit learning C for C++ and ugh.

Because WinAPI uses C. You could read something on MFC, but beware that it's a deprecated technology.
