C++ combine with VB?

[john_tran]

I want to write a application that use VB for the GUI, and C++ for the source code. Can i coordinate that ?
Please show me step by step to do that.
(And how should i organize my Cpp file, because it include its main(), its libraries and its functions.)
thank you!

i think this will only work if you develop your c++ app 100% with the .NET framework.

if you are, then what you do is create a new solution and add a c++.net library project and write your dll files there.

then, create a vb.net windows application project in the same solution and reference the c++ project.

have you tried this?

Oh, Unfortunately, i use Windows 98 and Visual Studio 6 for VB.6
There isnt any other way?

With VB 6...NO!

Your best bet is to go with sde's suggestion. Also, despite popular belief you can install .NET on Windows 98 and it will work fine.

Ok, i will.
Assume that i installed VB.NET. And tell me all the steps to do.
I dont know what dll is? dll's structure and how to create it?
