Should it be Visual Basic? As you said yourself, it's off topic.. and as Peter pointed out, there is an off-topic list (see the URL at the bottom of this, or any posting to find out details). As nobody has answered your original question yet, I think I shall, but I'm cross posting this to tbot, so if you wanted to continue the thread, I suggest jumping in over there (in case you're not there already). I used Visual Basic as a start-up language. It has enough to get you into it, but I never really found I could push it as far as I needed to get it to go. I guess it really depends on what you are trying to achieve, and what kind of targets you want to look at. I currently program in Delphi, and write accounting software. I find it very powerful, and very flexible. As for being specific about using the Windows XP GUI... what exactly do you mean? The only differences between the Windows XP GUI compared to that of Win2k and lower is that it has nice big bubbly edges (which btw messes up client widths/heights on forms)... Trying to write something specifically for Windows XP GUI seems a little bit of an unusual objective to me. - -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Fingerprint: 676A 1701 665B E343 E393 B8D2 2B83 E814 F8FD 1F73 iQA+AwUBPkHZ6iuD6BT4/R9zEQKyOQCZAZB6xo9MflDUQvScBxW09QVjyHoAl2Ok b9sb0GC/7da7+ktS7ySkYiE= =DI0z -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
