Hi gang,

I'm an experienced programmer with (mostly) Delphi, some java and basic
thrown in also. I've decided that I'd like to venture into c++ but I'm a
little stuck as to what to do.
As I say, I'm, an expreienced programmer so I don't need programming
tutorials, but here is how I'm getting stuck:

I'm using Borland C++ Builder, and I'm just playing at the moment, I'm
trying to change a button text at run time. But I can't just write this
without compilation errors:

Form1.Button1.Caption = "New Caption";

etc.

I did a quick search and something somethere told me that evrey object has
to be accessed via pointers. Is this true (oh please lord no!), and if so,
how would I accomplish the complex task mentioned above! lol

Many thanks in advane to all
Cheers -
