Does anyone know of any tutorials on Visual C++, I need to learn it so I can make new commands for Dark Basic.

What version of Visual C++? Like the new .NET (Visual Studio Express) stuff, or the older Visual Studio 6.0?

It may not make a difference, I'm just wondering what you're using.

Visual Studio Express I think, that's the tool I'm using at least.

check out...

www.programmersheaven.com

also I'd advise buying a "Teach Yourself C++" type book. Make sure that it's aimed at Visual C++ rather then something like dev-c++. Dev-C++ and Visual Studio have different setups and ways of doing things, so sometimes certain code won't work in Dev-C++ the same why that it would in Visual Studio.

One way to make sure the book is aimed towards Visual C++ is that if it has a CD, it will include a Trial of Visual Studio/C++.

I'm currently working on a C++ tutorial, I haven't gotten too far in it, although it is aimed towards Dev-C++ I am also looking into putting it into Visual Studio .Net examples as well. If you would like to be emailed the latest ones please PM me your email.

God Bless

Why yes there should be a timer object haha, well that should be true, I think the answer you are looking for is that all I've heard is that it is free for a year.

also for other questions for anyone wanting to know about Visual C++ Express...

Looks like a great idea, I like Visual Studio .Net (2005), I am currently working on some C++ tutorials that use Dev-C++ (examples also in Visual Studio) and am finding Dev-C++ a nightmare, no offence, its a great freeware IDE, considering, but hey.. I did use it when I first started to program (C/C++).

Join the club buddboy.

A couple of weeks ago, I finally figured out how to compile.
All you need to do is start a new project and start a new file.
...
Loads of errors came up in it, but not Dev C++... :\
