am new to c++. i want to create a desktop application but i don't know how to create a user interface-forms like vb.ne forms using dev c++ IDE. how do i go about it.

I don't know that it's going to be possible to do with Dev C++ (which is outdated as it is, and won't offer you a GUI designer nor the .NET libraries). Grab the VC++ 2010 Express Edition. The dialect used in this case is C++/CLI and is probably not a good entry point into C++, IMHO. If you want to use Dev, you'd probably have to use the Win32 API. See something like http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/ for details on that.
