please don''t laugh, but i just switched from vb to vc++, i was wondering; you know how vb has that toolbar with buttons , labels, ect., and has a window to create stuff in, does vc++ have that? if so how do i get to them. sorry about the noob question. In the future I''''m inventing a time machine to fix all of this

It sounds like your after something like C++ builder.

VC++ 6, which I''m guessing is the compiler version your
developing with, doesn''t have the rapid development drag and drop interface.

You can still create all the same objects (labels, dropdown lists etc) you just have to do it via straight code.

an equivalent to a VB form is called a dialog box. you create and add controls to a dialog box via the resource editor. from the VC++ IDE''s main menu, select Insert->Resource, select a "Dialog" Resource Type then Select "New". when you''re done adding the controls to your dialog, you save it into a .res (resource) file and then add that to your project (along with the resource.h file that gets auto-magically created). there''s a lot more to this but that''s how to get started, rather than doing it through code.

Thanks that helped

You''ve seen the toolbar resource editor in VC, right?

no, i just got vc++ a few days ago, still trying to get used to it
