Besides Visual Basic, how do programmers design forms for Win32 API?

[Ichinisan]

I have done a bit of programming in Visual Basic in the past. I am going to move on to Win32 API programming with Visual C++. How do VS.NET and other development environments allow you to design forms?

In Visual C++ pre-.Net you don't have "forms"as such, though dialogs are similar and you edit them visually with the resource editor.

With VC++ and the MFC framework you have a ClassWizard that makes it easy to map dialog button presses and other messages to handler functions. Create a MFC dialog-based app with AppWizard and it's not too different from a VB app with a single form.

C# in VB.NET allows you to design forms just like VB
