I just bought MS Visual C++ a few weeks ago, and for the life of me, can't figure it out. I had a tutorial, went through the whole thing, but all it covered was console apps.
How do I just make a form and be able to add controls to it? Does this all have to be done through code, or is there something I'm missing?
Goto File->New... "Projects" Tab and choose MFC AppWizard (exe)
thats the easiest way.
it basically has do be done all through code. there is a menu editor and stuff though.
check out http://www.winprog.org look at the tutorials.
Not if you don't know how to use MFC, or even have any knowledge of how Windows works internally :)Quote:

there is also a good book called "Visual C++ 6" or something to that effect, by Ivor horton, that is really good.
