GUI Design Tips and VB Development Question
1. How can I design professional looking GUIs? There must be some rules to follow (i.e. that the Exit menu should be under the File menu, and that it should be accessible by clicking ALT+F+X). I would like to make it aethetically pleasing also. Tips and tutorial would be greatly appreciated.
2. Can I create a C++ program and have my VB program use it? For example, can I create a class in C++ or an executable that VB can access?
Both questions refer to VB 6.

The second link provides very little regarding GUI design. I will try searching Microsoft myself again.

2. Yes, VB can use DLL's and classes created in C++. Be careful how you pass strings and you should be okay. Most of the API and DLL's today are written in C++ and VB has no problem using them.
