Hi i have MS visual studio 2010 and i'm trying to combine C++ using the windows form application for a simple GUI, i've never combined C++ with GUI because it looked so complicated to me but with the simple windows form app i think it would be much easier. I've used this type of form in visual basic .net back in high school where a text box would be like label1.text="word". Does anyone have a website that can help me with that specific type of syntax dealing with buttons and how clicking it would display a text answer and such? I never did that back in high school a few years ago, it was straight through the command line, never the form.

Perhaps you're looking for the Windows API?

doesn't look like it's what i'm looking for.

Let's say you create a windows form and add a button. You click it and it takes you to the code...

Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)

i make it:
Void button1_Click(System::Object^ sender, System::EventArgs^ e)
textBox1->Text = "Hello World";

When the button is pressed the textbox will say "hello world"

I want all of the WFA syntax to do this type of stuff(for C++, not vb, c#, etc)
