Before deciding to download Visual Studio 2019, I just wanted to know whether a visual form designer is available that generates c++ code.
If not, does anyone know of an easy to use development environment that does?
Thanks.

I'm a student and i'm using Visual Studio 2015 to learn C++.
I need to set my compiler so it will check my code the same as Visual Studio 2010's compiler so no errors show up on my disciple's end who was instructed to check our code in 2010 environment.
Is there any way i can do that?
sorry for any bad English and i hope you understand my question.
thanks in advance!
Yes it is possible by changing "Platform Toolset":
Full details here
EDIT:
As correctly mentioned by #HansPassant in the comment you need VS2010 toolset installed. You can download and install VS2010 C++ Express edition
I've been programming in android and have recently moved on to Visual C++ so I can make Computer Programs (Rather than apps), But when I create a C++/CLR emtpy Project in visual studio 2015, everything is fine at first but when I go to add a windows form, there are simply no templates, whatsoever. The 'installed' tab doesn't have ANYTHING under it, so thus I can't make a form to make my program. I have looked at other solutions but it seems, there is nothing for visual studio 2015, nothing else seems to work.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Setup Changes in Visual Studio 2015 Affecting C++ Developers - This ensures that non-C++ developers don’t have to pay the setup time and disk-space price for installing C++ bits that they don’t need. At the same time, C++ developers can still get the pieces they need.

I saw questions similar to this for older versions of Visual Studio but not this latest version. I am following a course on Lynda.com and basically the instructor is trying to use C++ in a pure form that will look the same for students using a visual IDE on Mac. Anyway, the instructor sets up a Working project for teaching the language constructs and such. He right clicks on the project in Visual Studio and under C++ there is Pre-processor section.
I should note that he is using VS 2013 Community Edition. I have a more fully featured version of VS 2015. I don't see that option for defining pre-processor directives on a "project" basis. MS won't let me install 2 copies of VS 2015, but maybe it will let me install VS 2013.
Still, I hope my question makes enough sense as to what we are trying to accomplish, so that I can find the option in VS 2015 Enterprise.
Thanks,

You would need to at least add a .cpp file to your Source Files folder in the the current project that you right will click. That should give you the option you are looking for in Visual Studio 2015.
Right click on your project. Select Properties. You should see the below menu where you can navigate to Configuration Properties > C/C++ > Preprocessor.
This is how I see it in my Visual Studio Enterprise 2015.
Is this what you're looking for?
I have to make a program which can operate with Word documents (edit, view, create) and use C++ with Visual Studio 2013.
I have searched the net and found out VSTO is only available for Visual Basic and C#.
On the Microsoft site there is "How to create an automation project using MFC and a type library" here but seems it is written for very old versions of Visual Studio (like 5.0 and 6.0). When I reach the ninth step "Select the Automation tab." it seems there is no such tab in ClassWizzard in my version of Visual Studio.
Is there any way to perform automation with C++ in newer versions of Visual Studio like 2013?
I found a way here. Actually I am using the "import" method and it worked for me in console mode(COM method also worked, but it seems to me more complicated), I haven`t tested it for GUI yet. There is not C++ documentation, but can be used Visual Basic API with a bit thinking here.
I want to create a C++ project in Visual studio 2010 but I don't
see any template for a C++ project. All I see is visual c# templates.
Please let me know how to enable c++ support in visual studio 2010.
You likely have Visual Studio installed without the C++ compiler. You have to start the installer and alter the installation so that C++ compiler is installed.
You probably need to reinstall it. During installation there is a choice of languages and features. Probably C++ was not chosen when it was installed on your system.
