   where's the WYSIWYG editor?
  I have the 180-day trial of Visual Studio 2005 Professional and I'm wondering if there's a WYSIWYG editor for C++ (MFC maybe) (not managed and not the dialog editor, which doesn't generate code). In the Add item dialog, under the C++/UI node there are only managed windows form and managed user control.Can anybody help me?Thanks in advance..utaal   
  If you mean a visual thing for dragging forms together a la Borland Builder and the like, to the best of my knowledge Microsoft does not provide these for main forms.I'm tempted to make a sarcastic comment about the name Visual C++ but won't.   ;  If you're referring to a WYSIWYG editor for Win32, I'm pretty sure it doesn't exist in the newest .NET simply because Microsoft has absolutely no need to support it with so many developers moving over to the managed architecture for their windowing needs.I myself used to be a big Win32 evangelist and feared transition to the managed framework. But truthfully, I find that my editors are being designed a lot faster using the managed framework than when I was using Win32 or MFC. Other than that, you can still use the tried and true method of manually defining components of your window in code. Always worked before and still works today. :p   ;  Ok, thank you very much.I've asked that question because I'm almost totally unexperienced in C++/MCF programming and I have to decide which IDE to buy to develop a C# project. This project is my main goal but I don't want to waste other technologies only because at the moment I'm not learned about and the visual editors have been great teachers to me...   ;Quote:Original post by utaalOk, thank you very much.I've asked that question because I'm almost totally unexperienced in C++/MCF programming and I have to decide which IDE to buy to develop a C# project.
