    Question integrating vb interface with vc++

    i'm writing an application using visual c++ and i'm told that designing interfaces/menus/toolboxes is easier in vb. could anyone please tell me how to integrate a toolbox designed in vb with my vc++ app?
    i have no experience with vb except some GWBasic done in school (does that count?! )

    I don't htink you can design the interface in VB and then directly use it in C++. You could maybe write a very sophisticated C++ dll to take control of a VB front-end, but I don't think it's worth it.

    thanks for your reply
    perhaps i didn't express myself very well in my post.. I'm looking to design just one control not a whole interface as a modeless dialog box --something like one of those toolboxes u see in Adobe Photoshop for instance-- using VB and call methods that i have in my vc++ application when a particular button is pressed by the user.
    is this possible?

    It's possible, but you'll find it easier just to learn how to do it using the API in C++.

    And that also means you're not carrying a load of DLLs around with you
