    visual gui editor

    hello,

    ive been working on a project for a while now, and i think its time to add an interface to it. usually id just do this manually (win32), but this project's gui alone would take days if not weeks.

    i was wondering if anyone knew a faster/easier way to design the interface? ive already tried dialogs but they are lacking the control i need (group containers, etc). im looking for something similar to the VB grid-based editor.

    please no MFC/ATL/WTL.

    thanks.

    ive already tried the resource editor in MSVC. the problem with it is i cant create groups of controls, what im trying to create is:

    a multi-tab dialog with a different group per tab. adding the tabs/groups/controls is easy, but getting the controls to 'belong' to a specific group wasnt. (easily done manually using the parent window param of createwindow())
