C++ Form creation....
C++ Form creation....
Is there such a thing, haha? I've searched through Microsoft Visual C++ Express Edition, along with Dev C++ Bloodshed. and, I can't seem to find one. Does form creation even really exist outside of the code?
I was just curios because I was making a small developer's toolkit for conversation files and item files for a small game I'm in the process of making.
Any help would be appreciated, haha.
Thanks in advanced.

Re: C++ Form creation....
In C++, you're supposed to code it yourself.
But, to help, you can make use of frameworks like MFC. Or let Visual C++ do the work for you: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... 80%29.aspx

If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in.

Thanks BlackHole,
That's what I assumed once finding the lack of information on such a form creating part of a developer... Would you suggest possibly MSDN for how to write it code wise, or...?

Re: C++ Form creation....
For code-wise I'd recommend this tutorial: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/start.html
It's actually a tutorial in C, but since the Windows API isn't different, most code is basically the same. You'll need some good knowledge of C(++) before you get started with this, but for the rest it's not extremely difficult.
Ofc, it only describes programming forms using the API. You may also go with MFC. But do yourself and the rest of the world a favor and first learn the basics of the API; I'll make it a lot easier to understand and more powerfully use MFC.

Thanks yet again BlackHole,
Anything else you think it would be wise of me to know before I get too far over my head right away?

Wait, how come you're still alive... ?

Come on blood-shard. Petty comments and senseless rude behavior is completely unnecessary and has no place here.
