About the closest thing to what Mike might want is Boa Constructor, 
which does have a GUI building tool.  It is not as polished as the 
Visual Studio GUI builder, but there are a lot of controls there that 
can be used.  It requires the wxWindows toolkit.

BTW, has anyone used or tried WingIDE?  It does look like a really 
polished product.
