For MFC dialogs, have a look at ResizableLib.

I have been using http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/layoutmgr.aspx for years, it's great. I have yet to find a situation where I can't get a certain layout done with this class. The only thing I 'miss' is a visual layout designer, but I don't think there's a layout manager that has one.

  • I just tried the framework, and I really don't like how it adds a message hook and tons of classes. Way too complicated code. Instead I have found that http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dialog/dlgresizearticle.aspx is much easier to use. – Rolf Kristensen Jan 06 '11 at 15:14

I have used this CSizingDialog class several times:

However, are you aware that in Visual Studio 2015 you can use the resource editor itself to manage control resizing? The concept is tricky to get your head around, but when you use it right you need no additional layout manager.

I found this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/MFC/UltimateToolbox_Layout.aspx

I'm looking for the same thing. I doubt Microsoft will ever come up with anything as nice as glade. It truly sucks developing for windows.
