    There's no GUI Builder in VS C++.net, and that's a real damn shame!, you need to build/write everything from scratch! As I found out, one of the best way to learn how to build GUI with .net is with the "Visual C++.net Step by Step" by Julian Templeman and Andy Olsen, on microsoft press. There are a couple of chapters on GUI building with .net. Also, look around here, on codeproject, ManagedC++[^] there's a section on Windows Form, which is the GUI Toolkit of .net. Max. P.S. don't forget to stretch your fingers because you're gonna type a whole lotta' !

      I would also say that a Windows Forms designer for C++ is slated for inclusion in Everett, I'm still awaiting my discs to see whether this is the case :) -- Paul "I need the secure packaging of Jockeys.

        Everett? sorry im not familiar.. ive been doing some work with c++ and the .net forms and the book i have suggests using C# and then porting the code over.. i think that is completely stupid.. what is this Everett, and does anyone know if MS is really trying to keep c++ from using the new .net forms? -dz

              also, look at MSDN : msdn[^] and remembering that the System::WinForms namespace was replaced with System::Windows::Forms. Max
