Ok, yes we all love vb. But didn't / don't you want to learn and harness the power of c++? THIS TUTORIAL INCLUES EVERYTHING for starting out from vb to c++. This is a great, authoritive, comprehensive tutorial that shows you C++ side by side using vb code. Six part tutorial that covers everything from syntax to the IDE to 2 types of Win32 window creation. Callback functions, and
over 25 screenshots with the side by side code and tutorials. You should have a pretty good handle on vb, yet it is EXTREMELY EASY to FOLLOW! Comes with source and example code, duplicate programs written in vb and then in c++, shows how to use c++ (WITHOUT CHEEZY MFC) and the REAL Win32 way. Make your own windows with your own classnames, use DialogBox(); Declaring Variables, CALLBACK functions, Fully commented. You may say that you don't need c++, but how do you think the API Dlls are made? Not with VB's ActiveX Dll. You can integrate c++ with VB by writing complex dlls and simply calling them in VB! I Promise you success! ohhh it is so sweet.This will teach you a lot. PLEASE download and vote! Check it out!

Good job, Jaime. May I suggest that you create a link on the html pages ie[Next]. Look forward to another one of your tutorials. You've got a good style mixing a little humour with simple instructions. Another minor suggestion would be to run a spell check on the docs. Tutorials are hard to write so keep up the good work.

Ditto Martin. A next link on each page would be a nice improvement. Also, check out the sizes for your images; many of them are stretched and look horrid.
Also a proofread would not be out of line.
All in all a good tutorial to get VB'ers into C++. I had both VB and C++ in college and the only thing we did in the C++ class was create console (aka DOS) apps. It really sucked, but I did learn quite a bit.

Hey guys, thanks for voting and downloading. I wrote this only last night (till 3 in the morning). Forgive me for the errors and whatnot. I used large screenshots because I just got lazy lol. MAKE SURE you check out some of my other tutorials, and MAKE SURE you search in C++ for Win32, and download some of my c++ submissions (GEARED right from this tutorial!)

I am looking forward to read your tutorial. I have a piece of code written in VC++, which I need to translate to VB and your tutorial will be really helpful I am sure.

This article was great. Helped ease the transition from VB to VC++. Of course I used other stuff to learn the rest, but its a good "starter block."

Excellent! I've loved VB, and wanted to learn C++ a long time ago, but could never stop screwing up my syntaxes and such because I knew VB. Thanks for the great tutorial! I can now get beeter in C++ too!

Great job. I've dabbled in c++ but I hate the semicolons & case sensitivity. VB's intellisense makes you lazy. Thanks for sharing.

Great article! I wish you would write another one! Perhaps with basic file input/output, using some of the common controls, etc. I hope to see another article from you soon, you make it really easy to understand.
