How to switch to the design view in VC++ 2012?
c++, visual-c++, visual-studio, visual-studio-2012
Solution
Maybe you are used to C#, where when you have let's say `MyForm.cs` and you just open it, it opens `MyForm.cs [Design]` window by default, in which you can design your dialog.
In Visual C++, the appearance of the dialog is stored in the resource file, thus you need to double click on `Win32Project3.rc` which will switch your left pane to the Resource view. Then you will see more resource types (they look like folders) and under Dialog you will find your dialog.
Problem
I have just installed Visual Studio 2012 Professional Edition and I'm planning to write my first Hello World application but I can't find the designer view ! How can I switch to the designer mode in Visual C++ 2012 Professional?
