Hello.

I was just wandering what is the easiest way to create windows and menus in the game. Like those to select level, or in strategy game when you click on unit that some pop-up window would show showing things like health, and allowing the user to adjust some things with sliders, numerical inputs etc...

I kins of do not want to create all these classes and libraries just for the prototyping. Is there an easy way?

Well, for the menu's, just draw them in photoshop or gimp. Next load them into your game as sprites and place then. Then you can use sprite collision form GDK and make an if statement with it.

Hope this helps.

I was asking about some kind of library function or something, similar like MSDN dialogs and windows are designed. May be there is a way to add MS forms? It would be convenient to use visual tools that are already in VC++ to design windows and dialogs. Is there a way?
When I was trying to simply add new MS form, it gave me some kind of error. So is there any other way?
