hi Can we create Windows ,Dialog Boxes and other components without using MS VC++??If so how??:confused: Can't we write the code in Plain C++ or are there any third part tools/libraries available for it??

Depends of what you plan to do exactly. You will still need to link to the win32 API but you don't need to use MFC and thus, you can use another compiler like Dev-Cpp for example (altough, I don't recommand it ;P). But, going the win32 way is VERY complicated and it's very long to develop a simple application. You can use wxWidgets[^]: it is a cross-platform GUI library that will let you develop GUI quite easily.
