VC9 question (GUI design)

I just read the following statement from Wikipedia: "Visual C++ can also
use the Visual Studio forms designer to design UI graphically". I would
like clarification:

Does this mean that I can design a GUI using the forms designer and bind
it to my C++ (native) library, to create a NATIVE application?

I think that the article refers to WinForms, which can be used via C++/CLI
(managed extensions to C++).
However, a WinForms app is *not* a native app (because WinForm is a .NET
managed technology).

However, you can build the GUI using WinForms and C++/CLI, and attach that
to some native C++ code.

C++/CLI is excellent as managed-native bridging layer.

Further to Giovanni reply.

If the article was referring to pure native development, then VC++ can
still develop conventional native Windows SDK & MFC gui's.
