Visual C++ (Tools & Libraries)

Microsoft Visual C++ (MS Visual C++) allows Visual C++ programmers to rapidly create Windows applications for their end users. Visual C++ developers can extend the standard functionality available inside the Visual C++ IDE with a variety of Visual C++ add-ins and Visual C++ tools. The extensibility of Visual C++ is one of the main reasons it has proved to be popular with developers, as Visual C++ software engineers can find Visual C++ downloads from other companies or other VC++ developers to act as a Visual C++ extension to their Visual C++ IDE or Visual C++ app.

The versatility of Visual C++ also extends to various forms of Visual C++ software components. Visual C++ controls can be used to create feature rich Visual C++ user interfaces on forms and Web pages inside Visual C++ apps. These Visual C++ UI controls are augmented by non-visual Visual C++ components or Visual C++ libraries or Visual C++ Class libraries that can help a developer add many hidden features in Visual C++ applications running in the background. These non-visual components are most commonly available as a Visual C++ library or Visual C++ Class library.

An example of a visible Visual C++ control is BCGControlBar Professional, a Visual C++ Class Library that allows you to create an MS Office Ribbon style or look and feel to your latest Visual C++ project UI. A non-visible Visual C++ Class Library component example is a Visual C++ compatible product call IP*Works! C++ Edition that allows you to send emails via SMTP and POP or to transfer files reliably using HTTP or FTP Internet protocols from within your Visual C++ program.

The Visual C++ software products listed in this Visual C++ product gallery will allow you to save a lot of time and effort in creating your new Visual C++ app. Whether you are looking for a Visual C++ plug-in or Visual C++ utility, or you are looking for a Visual C++ control or a Visual C++ component, you will be able to find a wide variety of Visual C++ tools to help you finish your project faster.

We also have other Visual C++ product galleries for: Visual C++ 2010, Visual C++ 2008, Visual C++ 2005 and Visual C++ .NET compatible products.
