[comp.windows.ms.programmer] Borland C++, any graphics classes?

pcb@basin04.cacs.usl.edu (Peter C. Bahrs) (02/28/91)

Ok, I ordered BC++...should come next week.  What do I get with it?
Is it just a C++ compiler that is win3 kernel callable? i.e. I can
call the sdk functions.  
  OR
is it a C++ compiler with a nice set of graphics classes predefined that
encapsulate some of the win functions, such as window, button, scrollbar,
control,..I don't have to reinvent the wheel.   I surely hope this is the 
case and I don't have to buy someone else class libraries.

wondering...

It's the former. It uses the Microsoft WINDOWS.H file and you do the standard
Windows calls. Time to reinvent the wheel, I guess.
