Hi,
I'm use dev c++ to do my homework. But when I want to make a software, I think it's difficult than MS VS: how to build a GUI( or can I "design" by mouse a GUI for my software just like in MS VS)?
thanks!

  Dev-C++ has no 'visual' design tools, out of teh box support for GUI development is merely the basic Win32 API. It's unnecessarily hard work, and a bit archaic. Some people seem to consider it good for the soul, but in th ereal world productivity is more important.
  
  If you need to produce a GUI for you homework, why would you be using Dev-C++? If this is not your homework, just use a different tool. VC++ 2008 Express (as well as C# and VB.NET Express editions) are available for free from Microsoft. http://www.microsoft.com/Express/
  
  There is also a derivative project called wxDev-C++, which is Dev-C++ with the wxWidgets class library and a visual design tool. If you really want to use Dev-C++ for visual GUI design, that is what you need. It also has the benefit of supporting both GNU and MS compilers, as well as being under current maintenance unlike vanilla Dev-C++. http://wxdsgn.sourceforge.net/
