anyone know of some good software that can help me design the form for my win32 project?
or is there a way to get the form designer in visual c++ for win32 projects?

VS contains a dialog editor. To access it add a resource (.rc) file to your project, open that file and select "Insert Dialog" from the Resource View context menu.
If you don't want to use a dialog from a resource file the only way you can go is just code the child windows creation and allocation by hand.
IMO, there is no such form designer which is not part of an external library package. You will have to use a library which has a form designer with it e.g., MFC/ATL/QT etc.
If you are doing pure Win32 application development without any external library, then I am afraid you will have to code everything by hand.
