Are dialogs possible in 2008 C++ Express?

Question
-
Hi,
Years ago, using various "how to" books, I figured out how to create a neat little dialog-based windows application in C++ 6. I just downloaded C++ 2008 Express. Can I use it to reproduce what I created before, or do I need MFC, which I understand is not included in C++ 2008 Express. For example, are all the DOC/VIEW/MAINFRM/DLG modules I had to create before still required? Where do I learn about that for C++ 2008 Express?
This may be a dumb question, but I don't want to spend many hours trying to find out how to do it, only to learn that it is not possible at all.
Thanks in advance.- Moved by Jim Zhou - MSFT Tuesday, February 2, 2010 9:48 AM (From:Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF))

Hi Royal Dryness,
Since this is WPF forum and your issue is not related to WPF, so I am moving this thread to another proper issue for quicker answer.
Thanks.
Sincerely.

Hi.
VC Express doesn't come with a resource editor, unfortunately, so you can't make dialogs through the UI (like you could with VC6, or any non-free edition of VC, such as Standard, Professional, etc).
You can still write the .RC file by hand if you like and compile with RC.EXE, but it's somewhat time-consuming.
You should post this in the Visual C++ forum, as that is what it is related to.Wednesday, February 3, 2010 8:07 AM
