I'm a .NET programmer. I've never developed anything in MFC. Currently I had to write a C++ application (console) for some image processing task. I finished writing it. But the point is I need to design GUI also for this. Well, there won't be anything complex. Just a window with few Buttons, RadioButtons, Check Boxes, PicturesBox & few sliders. thats it.
I'm using VS 2008 and was expecting a .NET style form designer.
Just to test, I created a MFC project (with all default configuration) and these files were created by default:
ChildFrm.cpp
MainFrm.cpp
mfc.cpp
mfcDoc.cpp
mfcView.cpp
stdafx.cpp
Now, I'm unable to find a Designer
. There is no View > Designer. I've opened all the above *.cpp and in the code editor right clicked to see "Designer View". ToolBox is just empty because I'm in code editor mode.
When I built the project. This is the window I get.
How to open a designer?
