Yes, you would. When you're first learning any language simple things like that can be a pain--it took me three hours to figure out how to delete an entry from a tree view control when I first started.

As for VB versus VC++ in general, my biggest gripe with VB is that it has zero portability. If you write your C++ code correctly, you can very easily separate the MS specific portions from the core functions, making it much easier to port to other systems. RoboEmu only took a day-and-a-half to port to Linux because of this. If I had written it in VB, I would have had to start from scratch. On the other hand, VB does some things amazingly quickly and easily. At some point, I'll sit down and learn it a little better.
