This shows you how to make a basic windows form in C++ through code

Code: Select all

Doesn't VC++ Have this as default when you load a win32 project ?

i dont use VC, i dont even know what it stands for, second, i code in notepad and debug it myself

just realised that VC stands for Visual C, :|

Most program other than Visual Studio C++ require you to make the form from scratch

thus this code is here

I know I was just wondering if Visual C++ have got this by default lol

You should give credits to http://www.daniweb.com/code/snippet216375.html, because it looks like that is where you got this code. My mistake if you didn't get it there.

actually no. my dads a programmer, my moms a programmer, and i like to program. i didn't get it from any websites, sorry.

I think your lying, and this looks extremely close to it if not it exactly
