    The name Visual C++ is a misnomer. BCB is more visual than M$'s visual hype. In BCB, database objects (TTable, TQuery, TDatabase, etc) can be dragged and dropped directly onto your form. All you have to do is link them together. Of course there is more work than this. The fact is, BCB's VCL has a better OO structure than MFC. You'll probably spend more time debugging message routings that designing your database with MFC. Received on Thu Mar 04 1999 - 00:00:00 CET
