Yes, this is what I need and I have trouble figuring out how to do it. One source (with an illustration) says that while choosing the type of the NEW project I should click on C++/CLR tab. There is no such option in Visual Studio Community edition I have. I also read that I should download a new version, which I did, and reinstall it and while in the process of reinstalling I should choose MODIFY and then C++/CLR. There was no such option.

Then I opened a new project choosing the closest thing and I think it said Windows Forms C++, however, as a result I got a bunch C++ code but no form, the toolbox is empty too.

How will I get there?

I do a lot of C# coding with Windows Forms application, I did not expect too much trouble with C++, besides I have a long C++ Linux experience.

In my C# project I can go to Properties and change from Windows Forms application to Windows Console application with all code related to forms intact, but here the Properties give me nothing.

Wat shall I do?
