Skins?

Name: Anonymous 2010-04-17 19:57

Hey guys, I need some help.

I just recently started learning to program in c++, so far so good. But I've been working my way up with user friendly languages (Like Visual Basic and... Game maker) and I'm starting to miss the eye candy in my applications. So, does anyone know if there's an easy way to skin my applications in c++ Builder? At the very least, XP style buttons would be very welcome.

I'd ask /g/, but those guys are assholes.

I'm not a C++ programmer, but that statement is just wrong.
That's like saying C is obsolete because Java exists.
C# and C++ are different languages with different goals. There are merits and disadvantages with using either one. C# is a better Java, and it's rather easy to code in it, it also features a very large standard library which is helpful for common tasks, it's also an ENTERPRISE language. C++ is a C with objects, but it's a lot more low-level than C# and compiles to native code, and on Windows, you can do a lot of low-level things in both C and C++. C++ and C# are different languages with very different goals, although if you were using C++ with MFC for making GUIs in the past, you're probably better off switching to C#, but if you had other goals, C# might not be what you're looking for.

Or you could do like most sane people on /prog/ and just switch to using Lisp or Haskell, depending on your preferences, and use the FFI for non-portable things.
