I want to learn Visual C++ and convert some VB applications. I have what looks like a decent tutorial manual.

The manual does not seem to describe any startup option which provides the same type of form that the VB standard exe startup option provides.

I do not want to try every option. Perhaps there is no similar option for Visual C++.

My applications use Text Boxes, Control Arrays, List boxes, Picture Boxes, Command Buttons, Et cetera. Basically the applications provide for data entry to scientific calculation programs which display graphic results in Picture Boxes and/or numeric results in an array of Text Boxes. One of my applications writes data to a disk file and later reads it back.

What Visual C++ startup options should I start learning?
