Software Design Using C++
Using AppWizard
Visual C++ has a wizard called AppWizard that creates the outline of a
working Windows application for you. You then use various tools to edit
what was produced, to add classes, functions, variables, code, etc. until
you have the desired working application. A newer and somewhat easier way to create
a Windows application with a graphical user interface is to make what is called
a Windows Forms Application in Visual Studio.
There are three sections below. The first is for Visual C++ 6.0, and the second
is specific to Visual C++ .NET. Make sure that you read the section that corresponds to your
compiler. Of course, everything here is Windows-specific and does not work with g++ under Linux.
The third section has to do with various types of boxes that you can use in a Windows application.
This section works with either version of Visual C++.
