O.P. Grin  C++ Programming
I've finally bought some books and started to learn C++. But what I would like to know is, if there is any other program out there that is easier than Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 for writing and compiling my programs.

Since I was a big user of Visual Basic (Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0) it's hard for me to just switch over to typing a sheet of code and no graphical design and layout of the controls. Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 offers about half of what I want. It allows you to layout your controls ext. but the flow and user friendly part of the program is crap. I'm wondering if there is any thing that is similar to Microsoft Visual Studio 6.0 for C++.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Dev-C++ doesent have any GUI. the one i used was full api to create a window. which i dont think he's looking for. i know theres another big C++ compiler called "Borland" or something but i never looked into that one, maybe you should.

Remember that C++ is a much more complicated, low-level and powerful langauge than VB, and the IDE reflects that.
Still, there are alternatives in Dev-C++ and Borland.

I've just started with c++, and honestly, if you want to make your windows with your mouse and keyboard... I suggest you to stick to VB :-/

Well Millenium that would totally defeat the purpose of me learning C++ if I just stuck with VB, now would it lol. :P

Thanks for all your suggestions, I'll take a look at Borland and Dev C++ and i'll do some more Googleing.
