Thread: Creating graphics with C++

Hi,

I have a project (work not school homeork) that requires me to create a user interface to allow him to select a file form a server, then reaad it, output some of the variables to the user and then launch another C program that will actually do all the work. i have no experience with graphic programming.
I've searched on line for a language that will allow me to do so, but they all point towards game graphics. I read the user manual for MS Visual C++ and it is not elementary enough to get started.
I have to learn a language from start, so it doesn't matter whether it is Visual Pro, or Java. I'm looking for the simpler-to-learn one.
I was looking for some suggestions on what to use and how to go about getting started with it.

thanks,

A.

Simplest?

Visual basic, by far, especially if you just want a user interface.

Out of C++ and Java, the consensus is that Java is easiest to pick up. I personally dislike the language, but it's true. That's if you just want ease of use.

Java very similar to C++ except creating a GUI is easier in Java than C++. Though quite a bit of coding and learning is still required.
(I program GUIs in C++ .. you don't want to go there )

Visual Basic is like a non-programmer language. Drag-n-drop
Not even considered a programming language in my parts though it will get the job done in a relatively short time with little difficulty. I would recommend Visual Basic for your task.

Visual sounds visual to me.
Basic sounds rather basic to me.

Thanks for all the input.

Do you guys know how easy it is to link existing executable C code to VB or C++ GUI?

I'm more worried that it won't run properly if I start interfacing VB and C.
