If you are looking for something a la VC++ app wizard, there isn't much. You
can have the IDE generate C or C++ projects and go from there. There isn't any
officially supported C++ framework that abstracts and hides the single threaded
event loop like MFC right now. Pretty much you are back to a big switch()
statement with calls to functions to handle the generated events.

You will need to handle all object management by hand. I have heard of some
third party CASE tools used to abstract the Palm API but nothing that I know of
on the open market.

It is a resource editor that takes card of all the #define's of resource objects
for you. A header file is maintained and you need to #include it in your
project. If you have any experience with RezEdit or Resourcer on the Mac, it is
very similar.

The Windows help files on the Resource Editor has been pretty helpful to me.
