It's very easy to learn and use. You can create buttons, dialog boxes, list boxes, etc. and link code to them with ease. If you plan to make a small Windows app with very little turnaround time, VB is the way to go. I'm using both BC++ and VB. Of course, being the programming weenie that I'm, I prefer BC++, but when our customers want a very quick turnaround time, I can get it done with VB in less than a day. Honestly, I think VB is good for those who really don't want to deal with the overwhelming capabilities of BC++. In a nutshell, VB is very good but if you have the time and the knowledge, BC++ is the best way to go. Of course this is just my opinion...whatever it's worth. Hope this helps. Mario -- Mario A.
