Visual C++ .NET Standard 2003 IDE

I've found 2 features of Visual C++ .NET Standard 2003 that are a bit
perplexing.  First, there appears to be no form designer available for
developing WIN32 applications.  So if I'd like to generate binaries
that don't use the .NET framework (by selecting WIN32 as the project
type instead of Windows Forms) I have to build forms and place
components by hand coding.  This seems (if not merely anachronistic) a
bit ridiculous, so I suspect it's a user error.  Are there any
thoughts?

Second, if I create a Windows Forms application, use the form designer
to place a button on the main form, and then double click the button
to take me to the code editor, the IDE takes me to the header file
instead of a CPP file.  All the example code I can find places all
event handlers and related code in the header files instead of CPP
files.  This seems bizarre to me.  Are there any thoughts on this?  It
appears that I'm missing something huge here....

Thanks,

Chad

Hi Chad,

I agree with your two issues, even, the code inclusion into the .h files
is very annoying, but I think that it is it because the Form Designer is
though to work good with C#. The C++ form designer looks like a path
(but I like it).

About the other issue, you can use the resource editor to create dialogs
. Is not the same than Windows Forms Designer, but it is better than
coding the positions and aspects by hand.
