Borland C++ to Visual C++ conversion
-
I have a graphics application which is written in Borland C++ using various classes like TDC, TPen, etc. which I have to convert into Visual C++ application with MFC. What is the best approach to make this more efficient and less time consuming? Is there any third-party library which has Visual C++ wrappers for Borland C++? Please suggest.

I dont think its possile as I did a try to convert a .cbproj to .vcproj. ie: from rad studio to visual studio. but the project used some vcl.h which is unavailable in visual studio. so making gui is totally depended on ide. you can adopt any code from bc++ proj and manipulate in your vcproj but not gui part.

Would probably use .NET and then compile your C++ code as managed code using the /clr switch (VS2005 and newer supports this). .NET Winforms is much closer to Borland VCL library. If .NET is not an option and wanting to stick to the C++ guns, then you should take a look at Qt, as it ressembles the OO principles of VCL. Or maybe tryout the OWLNext as it should actually be the open source version of Borland C++ GUI library (But it is not VCL). Converting an application to MFC will not win you any awards.
