Developing windows forms applications?

C++ is by far my language of choice. However, I have only developed libraries and console applications.

I like how in Visual C# you can easily design a GUI for your application - simple drag-and-drop controls and edit their properties simply.

I have tried to create a windows form application in Visual C++, but it uses the CLR/.Net. Is there a way to make a windows form application in Visual Studio without having to use the CLR or .Net? I really love how easy it is to design a form application in C# or VB.NET.

Thanks!

No, the whole concept of a .NET application is that it leverages the .NET framework to do all the cool stuff you mentioned. If you were to elaborate on what it is you are trying to accomplish we may could recommend an alternative solution, but if you write a C# winForms application it's going to need the .NET framework to run...

EDIT:

You could use a qt ide, or possibly a QT plugin for visual studio. Check this thread out: Best QT ide?
