I would like to create a Rust winforms program.

I can get started using VS code and create things like a message box ok.

I need to create a Rust winforms app with menu's and canvas for drawing on.

Is it likely MS will add a rust add on to visual studio pro any time soon ?

    Hello @57481950,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

    Like what you mentioned and what the document says: Set up your dev environment on Windows for Rust => "We’ll be using Visual Studio Code as our integrated development environment (IDE) for Rust, and not Visual Studio".

    Is it likely MS will add a rust add on to visual studio pro any time soon?

    You can follow up this thread => Native Rust Support, and if there’s any update, product team will update and share the latest information there.

    Have a nice day.

    Sincerely,

    Tianyu
