A window editor, perhaps?
Are there any C++ code editors which allow you to draw your window out in a graphics editor, and put controls on it; and don't require you to distribute any of their files with your application? Basically, Microsoft's MFC is a joke. They force you to distribute an almost 1 MEG file with your application. But they probably did it to keep a strangling hold on the market. But nonetheless, are there any? Thanks in advance.

you can statically link the DLL's with MFC, making a stand-alone exe, but it will increase the size of the app. By how much, I don't know, but I assume it is quite a bit.

Oh, in that case, I'll make my own. It's a simple concept, really, I was just wondering if anybody had the brains to make something like that. Basically, it will allow you to draw the controls and window on a form to get its location on the window. (When it saves the code, it'll use API; the normal type where you register a class and then use CreateWindowEx to draw the form.) It'll allow you to change settings. When you're done, the program will simply generate the code. Isn't that such a simple concept? Aren't you surprised that no one's acted upon it?

I gave up...I'm writing my own window manager 
Basically, it'll let you make either an MDI-style or dialogue-style application, but all the windows are drawn by it, and it's double-buffered
Hopefully, it'll work on X as well...once I get a chance to actually DO any X programming
