Hello all,

I've programmed in VB and C a lot, but not for several years. I'm going to
write a standalone app for PC's to sell and want to know which language offers
the best (easiest) GUI tools so I don't have to spend a ton of time writing
graphics routines. I want to design the layout and be able to turn on and off
objects easily.

Can people recommend (between these two languages) the best SDK and language
for ease of GUI programming (as much already done as possible) and availability
of graphics routines and additional libraries? I no longer own any SDK so I'm
going to have to buy one.

Thanks for all your responses,

Math
