Create C++ GUI project
Windows 11, VS Professional 2019, Version 16.11.44, C++
I want to create a project that starts up with a GUI.
Select project template: Windows Desktop Application. The text states: A project for an application with a graphical user interface that runs on Windows. The options are: C++, Windows, Desktop.
Create that project, do an immediate build and run. It opens what looks like a console window. It does not open a GUI.
I suspect the basic looping function to service a GUI is not present.
Look in Solution Explorer -> Header Files, Resource files, Source Files and there is nothing that looks like a blank GUI to edit.
Look in Resource view -> Dialog and the only item there is only IDD_ABOUTBOX
Looking through all the template options does not reveal anything that looks like I need.
What are the steps to create an application with a GUI? A GUI that can be edited with the “Toolbox” and drag and drop tools?
I attempted to post this question a minute ago. After the puzzle displayed a verification complete message, the web page then proclaimed 404 - page not found. This has been common for me. Do others get this often?
And it did this a second time. And a third.
