Getting started with Visual C++

Speedbird · March 7, 2015

Hello.

I would like to do some Win32 programming in Visual C++. I already have some experience and I have created command line applications, but would now like to create something with a GUI. I have found lots of tutorials for command-line, but nothing for programs with a GUI. Can anybody give me some resources?

My experience is with C# in Visual Studio but is Windows Forms available to you in a C++ development environment?

I believe it was removed after VS2010. But I've heard that it's possible to download it.

I can try switching to C# too.

Yeah winforms are gone in VS2012 and greater, however there are 3rd party libraries which can be used for GUI's and there is also microsofts Win32 library. Also im not sure if you can download it. I think C# would be much better for GUI applications as well.
