C++ and GUI development (C++ Builder)

[DJMK4]

Iv been learning c++ and have made a few programmes during my time using it, problem is, iv been creating these as an Easywin application and a console applcation which opens and runs in a "DOS" window. Iv heard off a mate that Borland C++ builder can be used to create GUI's.

Problem is, is it hard to do? does it require a lot of extra coding? or is it simply drag and drop, and code each element like VB?

If i got hold of a C++ builder package would it be easy to create GUI's for the programmes i have already made? i dont mind learning at all..

If its anything like MFC its drag and drop in terms of placement of objects, but a lot less friendly in terms of handling actions. Ive done it through Visual Studio... but to code the messages and handling of those messages myself - well i wouldnt like it do it tbh... and debugging it is a pain.

Might not be what your on about but

You're probably better using something like c#/.net etc for gui building, rather than face the horrors of MFC etc....i'm sure you can integrate your current code as a library into the new GUI code.
