Visual Basic VS Visual C++ for project
Hello
I am basically a "newbie" with
Visual Basic and I have been asked to do a
project for a professor. I have the choice of using either visual basic or
Visual C++ for the project. I'm leaning toward visual basic, but I wanted
some opinions on which one might be the easiest to use for this particular
app. (Being this is a visual basic ng, I think I might know the answer :)
Basically, I need to create a program that will be able to activate each
pixel individually on a blank screen. I'm thinking about doing it so that
the pixels will be entered ahead of time and then when you press a button
the screen will blank out and only the pixels indicated will be lit.
Initially it only needs to be black and white, but later on they may need
color. Then, when finished with that the user could simply press a key or
something to bring back the configuration screen (kinda like a screensaver
activation). At some point they may want to have the screens cycle at
specific frequency (I guess that will max out at the monitor's refresh
rate), but that is way down the road. Is this something that would be easy
to accomplish with vb? I had someone tell me that visual c++ would work
better for this, but I don't see why vb wouldn't be able to do this.
Any ideas / recommendations appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim Stanfield
