      I just wasted three days of my life just trying to get an activex control to work properly off a toolbar (you can see my post in the visual c++ forum if you want details). So yeah, I just had to let off some steam at microsoft for that. Granted, I'm new at visual C++ and you have to expect that your first few projects will be hell while you are still trying to figure stuff out, but I never had this much trouble learning a borland product. Their documentation is way better and their whole programming philosophy is just more intuitive and easier to understand. If only I could find a job developing with c++ builder. That'd be nice. But alas, no such jobs exist (I'm sure they do but I've never heard of such a job in my area) Microsoft SUCKS! wanna fight about it? click me[^]

          First Jörgen is right. The world wants your money for doing nothing. More easier and intuitive is what you know. I could apply every statement to every product borland, sun, ibm, ... makes. "For as long as I can remember, I have had memories. Colin Mochrie."

                            Back in the day, Ross Perot was campaigning against the North American Free Trade Agreement, arguing that if it passed we would heard a "giant sucking sound" caused by all the jobs exiting to Mexico.

                                He he! Irony and you are american... things do change.;P It is always surprising how Cpians are always protective of MS though... but anyway, I do not agree with your post... C++ Builder was quite a good product but I was never impressed by the documentation. I learnt C on Turbo C when MS C was only a command line and yes they were ahead of their time but they have lost their edge. But do persevere on VC++, the IDE is great (the best according to Dr Dobb's)! Good luck!
