Why should someone try to make a GUI in c++ rather than visual basic (forms application)???
Isn't visual basic drag and drop better and easier?
Thanks in advance

If you wanted to create a magnificent painting, would you use fine paint or a crayon?
Your last post was...
Smells like trolling to me..What are the advantages and disadvantages on those 2 languages? Visual Basic as I have seen is much more simpler, so why someone should learn C++?
Both threads moved to the less serious part of the board.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

All things being equal (same knowledge in both languages, the problem domain being answered by both languages, etc) it seems counterproductive to do it in C++ for the simple reason it would take more time to achieve the same result. Meaning VB.Net is a better solution for its Rapid Application Development approach to GUI programming.
But things are rarely leveled. It's just that you may be better at a language than another, or your application may impose technical challenges that Visual Basic simpler semantics will force you into ugly and hard to maintain code. Or it may just happen that the environment where your application is going to run isn't compatible with .Net, or it may just happen that you need to port your application to other operating systems or architectures. Or it may just happen that you simply dislike the Visual Basic syntax the same one may dislike a certain brand of hammers over another. It may also happen that your development team, your company experience or your development environment doesn't have .Net development as a possibility.
Developing an application is equal parts being a slave and having a choice. But, whatever language you end up with, you get the results you want if...you...are...a...good...programmer.

Thanks Mario and Matticus for the replies. I am a newbie and I try to clean up some thoughts, so that would do.
They shouldn't. I always make my GUI interface using Visual Basic to track hacker's IP addresses.
So, are you with these guys?

No programming language is perfect. There is not even a single best language; there are only languages well suited or perhaps poorly suited for particular purposes.
