Hey this program lets you use a WYSIWYG editor to drag and drop to create windows interfaces. I was curious as to if its possible to make a useful/decent program with no programming knowledge doing this only? Can it easily let you keep track of variables by what to user clicks on with just using this editor and not know any programming?

"I was curious as to if its possible to make a useful/decent program with no programming knowledge doing this only?"
Not really...When VS2005 came out I went to the launch event and the presenter did create a web ticket booking system (complete with booking, cancellations, user registration, event listing, etc.) and wrote very little, if any, code. But it was a contrived example, and he had to do some pretty tricky stuff to get around the 'no code' requirement. In other words, even if it were possible, it's easier to just learn how to program.

Definitely not. The designer lets you set properties of the controls you place onto the forms (color, text, even bind to a dataset), but you still have to write code to define variables and handle the events like click, drag, mouseover, etc.Good luck,

You could probably build a basic DB app with Access and a DataGrid without ever even going into the properties inspector!
