Sure if you're willing to chain yourself to VB.net or C#! The C++ experience in VC (MFC/ATL etc) is awful. The designer is based on resources and only has a tiny selection of widgets, no layouts etc.

That's not a good thing. It leads to code-mess with the application tied to the UI. Very 1995. Change something in the UI and you have to change the handler. Qt's signal system is far superior as are actions for normalizing the code. And a lot of experiences Qt devs build their UIs in code because of the extra flexibility Qt provides.

Very easy to do with Qt designer.
