title: Visual Studio: Creating a simple GUI
body: <p>I have written a C++ application, which I built using g++.</p>
  
  <p>For the purposes of demonstrating this code I want to create a simple GUI, under Windows, I thought it would be a relatively simple task to create this using Visual Studio's GUI builder.</p>
  
  <p>With some stress I have got to the point where I can build and run the C++ app through a Visual Studio 2010 workspace.</p>
  
  <p>So I add a new class, I choose "Windows Form", it gives me a form that I can drag stuff onto, great. How the hell do I integrate this?</p>
  
  <p>Can I not just create an instance of this class in my main function? </p>
  
  <p>How do I even get the form to show when I run the program?</p>
  
  <p>I really have no idea where to start, my experience is in using C and Java, I don't have much experience with C++ and I have absolutely no idea about Visual Studio.</p>
  
  <p>All I want is a GUI class to handle user input and right now it seems impossibly difficult.</p>
  
  <p>Any guidance would be very much appreciated, I'll come back to this when my blood pressure returns to a safe level.</p>
