If you are focused on Windows based games, Visual Studio is probably going to be your best bet in terms of Windows development.

Thank you, I will keep using it then. Smile I was hoping there was some IDEs like XCode(Swift) with which I can drag things around, or better GUI support. Very Happy

Embercardo formerly Borderland's C++. I have been using it for delphi and its pretty decent, no reason why it won't be for c++ too. I use VS though for c++ but because a lot of my projects are already in VS

C++ is a native language that has limited UI support using Dialogs. Visual Studio includes a resource editor for when you are working with a Dialog based UI but it is limited. (The dialog editor has full control and support for everything it can have, dialogs in general are limited.)

Doing a UI in C++ is usually best done with the use of a third-party library such as wxWidgets or similar. And since it is third-party that usually relies on the CreateWindowEx API, a full drag and drop editor is not always possible.

Something you can do instead is write a UI in C# using WinForms or WPF which will allow you to do the full UI via drag and drop, then write all the core code in C++ and just import the needed functions from your C++ dll(s) into C#.

Because im an old people, i just use TotalCommander and modified SciTE.

But please dont be misunderstand.
I use my own lib for Windows GUI.
So that i can write simple messagebox with a button with no more than 20 lines.
Without visual dialog design tool.

one line end with '{}' or ';'
