Changing object properties

[Francois Trottier]

i know its a newbie question, but how can u change the properties of
an object ( for exemple the caption of a button) i know in vb you
could just write object.properties="" but how can we do that in c ++

*Standard* C++ (which is the topic of this group) knows nothing about
buttons or any GUI stuff for that matter. You should consult the
documentation of the GUI library you're using.

Basically, you're not in the right newsgroup.

C++ does not know what captions or buttons are.

People here are very sensitive about posts being on-topic,
so trying a windows-specific newsgroup is your only major option.

And once again an off-topic question has been posted separately to multiple
standard-language newsgroups. The disease is spreading.

Depending on how the class is written :

object.property = "value";

or

object.property("value");

or even

object << "value";

assuming a proper operator has been defined. I have seen cases where
the only way was to do

object != "value";

Weird, no?

C++ structs and classes doesn't have anything simelar like VB
properties..
only elements and member functions ..
vb like properties are availiable in VB, VB.NET and C#

but don't switch to C# ... programming with it gives you the feeling of
getting brain fucked by the whole M$ dev team at once ...
