Help with visual studio 2010 c++

[ProperConfused]

Hey!

Im tasked with building a simply GUI with a shopping list in visual studio 2010 express c++. However Im a bit lost as I have 0 experience of GUI or visual studio.
I've watched some tutorials and tried to find some info but none were much helpful. The main thing I need to figure out is how to enter text in a text box and adding the text to another textlist box using an "Add item" button.
Anyone who can tell me how to do this? Also it'd be fantastic if someone could link me to a good resource on where to learn more about making GUI's.

Thanks! : )

Basically you have 2 options with visual studio 2010 express c++.

Option 1: using C++/CLI

Option 2: using plain old Win API

Both are not easy for someone with 0 experience.

How gives you such a task ?

On YouTube I found this tut with uses Buttons and Textbox using C++/CLI.
