MFC form designer

According to my understanding if I need design MFC form with button I have only one possibility - write everything in code editor. There is no designer. Except cases when I need design dialog form. I can use designer and generate resources for dialogs. But in case normal Frame there is possibility to drop buttons in designer window. Is that truth?

  1. Go to Resource view
  2. Create a new dialog template
  3. Double click the dialog template name
  4. Once the dialog opens, the toolbox get enabled
  5. You can drag&drop the controls to the form now

If you want to use a form as a main window, create your project with a CFormView as a base class. You can select that inside the new project wizard. Then you get a dialog resource for that view. It works just like a dialog.
