Editing the UI - CaptainFamicom - 11-21-2018

I want to make my own custom build with a completely different UI. Looking at the source, everything is hard coded, and Visual Studio gives no help to visually show the GUI being modified. Are there any tools to allow me to graphically edit the UI, and not by guessing with the Code?

The way we write the GUI, there isn't any visual editor you can use. But if you're going to write a part of the GUI from scratch, I suppose you could use QT Designer UI files: http://doc.qt.io/archives/qt-4.8/designer-using-a-ui-file.html

Dolphin uses Qt for it's GUI. I haven't used Qt in a long time, but last I used it (school project) I used their IDE to view the GUI as I made changes.

Edit: Ninja'd pay no attention

Thank you for your assistance.
