Windows application
-
Hi, I know C++ but I am very new to Visual Studio, I want to develop a simple windows application with basic controls like text boxes, buttons, grids etc. and there will be communication to com port (serial port). But when I saw the new Visual Studio 2008 Express Editions, I am confused what to use. I need your advice on what tool of these express editions needs to be used for developing the application i said. What kind of development kit would I need? And let me know if this is the right message board i am using or i need to post this message in some other message board. Thanks a lot for your time and Knowledge Sharing. Karmendra

You may use profitably
Visual C++ 2008 Express Editionto build suchGUIapplications. However you should useWin32 APIfor the purpose, since theMFCframework is not included in theExpress EditionofVisual Studio. If you select a newWin32 Project,Visual Studiokindly generates the code of a basic, working,GUIapplication for you. :)If the Lord God Almighty had consulted me before embarking upon the Creation, I would have recommended something simpler. -- Alfonso the Wise, 13th Century King of Castile.
