Working with gui square one question

[johnmortal]

I know this is a stupid question and if someone can point me to the source code of one that works that would be fine (searching for "source code" in the forum seems to lead to threads containing broken links). I just need to get some basic gui going in an effects plugin. I can see that the CreateConfigDialog is what is presumably called, but in the effects template such a method is included but calling it doesn't actually create the form.

Gui is my weakest area, and frankly I know WPF better than I know winforms, which I barely know (I suppose I mostly think of it as being similar to Java Swing).

Can anyone can point me to source code for effects with gui where the changes made (e.g. to a slider in the gui) can be seen immediately as the slider is changed, rather than

after the form is closed?

If you're just making a simple UI, you might want to try creating your effect with CodeLab.

With CodeLab, you just write the render loop and let CodeLab worry about the UI code.
