Hello,

I know php, actionscript/javascript and a basic perl. I trying now to learn visual c++ because I want to make applications. I have visual c++ but I'm not really sure what I'm doing, I have a few books from my brother (a programmer) and have tried to follow the exercises but I'm still lost.

When I write something in php or javascript I know what all of it does as I write the functions myself but with visual c++ I just drag things around and double click on them and give them names etc like the exercises say but I really have know idea where the code is or what particular file is being edited when I do try and change a value or property.

I had a look at some of the c++ files in my workspace directories and it all looks quite complicated with lots of comments saying add stuff here or 'class wizard will add properties here)'. Should I try and edit this so I understand it a bit better or will this just screw things up?

Before I started I thought it would be more like php where I write lots of functions and then just tell buttons what to do when they have been clicked but it's difficult to understand the code as it uses wierd names and ids (BTW: do ID names all have to be in UPPERCASE? I find that annoying.) for things, things I have know idea about because it was all created automatically.

Is there anyway of writing an application from scratch and doing all the code by hand so that I know what everything does? Or is this not the point of visual c++? Or maybe s.o. has links for beginners on writting applications with v. c++. Any advice would be great.
