Answer 1

You create a project in Visual C++ by doing a File | New and select project. For a GUI application you want to select a Windows Form application to start.



For tutorials perhaps look at

If you want to do GUI in C++ I would strongly look at MFC to help you as bare bones Win32 API can be daunting.

Answer 2

Building GUIs with a RAD is the easiest part. Just drag and drop the elements onto the form. Then, double click on each element in the editor to apply linking actions to each element.



You can search for "Visual C++ Video Tutorials" on Google, too.

If you are talking about managed C++ then Why dont you use another language that is designed for managed enviroment like C#?
