Title: Programmers Help Me !! (need to know C++ & VB)
Post by: Fozzy on April 14, 2002, 11:35:08 am

I need to open a file in red faction and add the filenames to a combobox. but the source on how to do this is in C++ and I dont know c++ :confused:

PLEASE can someone look at the source and tell me what it means in VB. I am trying to add the .RFL files to a combo box.

(VPP files contain other files like a zip file but not compresed, I need to read those file names)

I don't know anything about C/C++ or VB but i can say one thing about VB and that is you get the same results from VB when you just took a **** on the toilet.

I know some very basic stuff with VB and C++ (creating text editors, etc.) but am much better with Mathematica; I'm trying to learn more C++ stuff. Someone else here probably knows much better though.

so true.

C/C++ is easy to do in console.... its when you use the graphical interface it gets hard.

I was taking an introductory C++ course when I was still in school, but they were using Turbo C++ for some stupid reason, and so many of the commands (especially the graphics ones) were all really strange and outdated.
