tool programming: May I ask...
I use C++ Builder as well. I tried MFC, but I just couldn''t get into it. When I''m making an editor or something I just want things as simple as possible.
It is possible to aquire pointers in VB with a few functions from Win32 API. Its not near as easy as getting pointers in C++ though.
Getting the pointers isn''t the problem. Using them is.
That depends on your architecture, which is limited by the implementation language.

Why would you write the _tools_ for making that game or program in C++? Why? It would take longer than necessary and bugs would be abundant because of the rush to get it finished, right?

Wrappers of MFC and COM? Not really (the only things that do exist are nothing like wrappers). Wrappers of their functionality? Yes. Look at wxWindows, Qt, VGUI, et cetera.
That''s what I meant. I didn''t mean wrappers of MFC and COM (don''t see the point in it
). But there is a C++ HOWTO on "beautifying" C++ and making it look more like Java. Came w/ my copy of Mandrake Linux.And I now agree. It depends on the design and architecture, and that should depend on the skill/weakness of the programmer. C++ is very flexible, and there''s seemingly always a way to cheat and cut corners.
