Visual Basic can be used to create UI and UX rich programs for Windows platforms in a very short time.

C++ is command line based language, on the other hand, Visual Basic is IDE and event driven language. For example, creating a pop up box in C++ is a tedious task. If the programmer is writing from scratch, making a window appear in C++ will take you 15 minutes to program properly. You 'll never have to deal with that in Visual Basic. Adding a form using code in VB is just one
