VB-Like project in Visual C++?

Yes.... But it's a tad more tricky than in VB.
On the upside, you'll find out how windows actually works: By passing Window Messages around all over the place.
It's actually not too difficult: I found a good tutorial on Win32 programming at
There's two main roots to take: You can either program using the Win32 API (as in that tutorial) or program using MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes). I haven't tried the latter yet: I think it probably makes things easier... But note that even MFC must use the Win32 API, as Win32 is actually how MS Windows works.
Hope it helps,
Stephen

I agree with Rick or even a CFormView based application which is of course still CDialog based at the end of the day but it does give you some other GUI type features like menu's and toolbar's etc.
Of course we are all assuming that's what is meant by "vblike". We could be totaly wrong about that LOL
