Third-party form designers

Anyone know of any good form designers? I dont like using MFC, so I'm using CreateWindow for all my controls, but getting coordinates is a hassle, id rather use a simple form designer where i can just draw some controls on it and get the coordinates (maybe even set some properites, and let it generate my CreateWindow code for all my controls for me :D)

Actually, I am working on this type of project.:)
Meanwhile, you can also use a resouce dialog box and there are some resource editor that will let you create controls at design time using drag and drop. Infact, Visual C++ comes with its own good one.

ignore this post.

Do most ppl design their MAIN form using VC++'s dialog editor (and im not talking about MFC).

Does this all seem correct?... Also, my window never gets a WM_DESTROY.. I thought it was supposed to? Just gets a WM_CLOSE.

Code:

---

#include "windows.h"
#include "resource.h"
#include "main.h"

int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInst,HINSTANCE hPrev,LPSTR line,int CmdShow)
{
        HWND hMainDlg;
        MSG msg;

        hMainDlg = CreateDialog(hInst, MAKEINTRESOURCE(IDD_MAIN_DLG), NULL, MainDlgProc);
        ShowWindow(hMainDlg, SW_SHOWNORMAL);

        while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0))
    {
        TranslateMessage(&msg);
        DispatchMessage(&msg);
    }

        return msg.wParam;
}

BOOL CALLBACK MainDlgProc(HWND hwnd, UINT Message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    switch(Message)
    {
        case WM_COMMAND:
            switch(LOWORD(wParam))
            {
                case IDC_OK:
                                        switch(HIWORD(wParam))
                                        {
                                                case BN_CLICKED:
                                                        MessageBox(hwnd, "Hello World!", "Hi", MB_OK | MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
                                                        break;
                                        }
                                        break;

                case IDC_CANCEL:
                                        switch(HIWORD(wParam))
                                        {
                                                case BN_CLICKED:
                                                        SendMessage(hwnd, WM_CLOSE, NULL, NULL);
                                                        break;
                                        }
                                        break;
            }
                        break;

                case WM_CLOSE:
                        DestroyWindow(hwnd);
                        PostQuitMessage(0);
                        break;

        default:
            return FALSE;
    }

    return TRUE;
}

AlbafaN: That depends. If the main window is really a form - that is a window with lots of controls - then a dialog template makes sense. If not it doesn't make sense.
I made a single app that uses a dialog as main window...
