I want to be able to just show an image along with some text. kind of like
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
(image command)
cout<<"Hello World!\n";
}
There is no standard way in C++ to display images.
On some operating systems, there are APIs which allow creation of graphical user interfaces. GUIs can draw images. In order to use such API, the first step is to figure out which system you are writing the program for. Next, you can read the documentation of that operating system.

I was just wondering is there any way on windows 10 to change bell ("\a") sound?
(I'm using C++)
There is a method to modify the sound of beep in Windows 10 but not by using \a but by using Beep()
#include<stdio.h>
#include<windows.h>
main()
{
Beep(600,600);
}
Function parameters Beep(Freq_in_Hertz, Time_duration_for_sound);
If you want to stick with \a, you may be able to modify its sound by going to sound settings and change the alert sound.

I'm fairly new to c++ and was wondering if there is a way to figure out the canvas' size of another program?
For example, code something that will tell me the size and position of a program like Task Manager or CommandPropmt. Of course, they would have to be opened first.
It's quite easy to do this - get the window handle with FindWindow(), and then get the size of the window using GetWindowRect() or GetClientRect(), depending on which bit of the application window you want the size of. All these functions are part of the Win32 API and are fully documented online.

I have a string with me and I wanted to find the size of box that is bounding the string.Is there any C++ API which can help me with it?
I know it can be done with GDI+.But I wanted a more better way using basic APIs
Using Gdi+ is an overhead as it would have to start Gdi+ and close it..So if i can obtain it directly without using GDI+
The lowest level function that one can think of is GetTextExtentPoint32 in Win32/GDI (C/C++ API).

I am a fairly new C++ programmer and I am trying to set up a program that moves 2 files into a different location. How do I do this?
Under Windows, there is an API just for that purpose, the MoveFileEx() function.
To use it, start with:
#include <windows.h>
And then you can simply do something like this:
BOOL result = MoveFileEx("C:\\dir\\myfile.txt", "D:\\another\\directory\\output.txt", MOVEFILE_COPY_ALLOWED);

I'm trying to write text-based gui. Is there a way to access terminal per pixel using pure C++? I read a one method, but it was SDL based ;[
Not sure what you imply by "Pure C++", but ncurses is the go-to library for CLI applications (and there is a port for Windows called pdcurses )
