Yeah, I've searched and seen other threads asking the same question, but they're dated all the way back to 2006.
What are the object oriented features on DBPro? I've seen the type keyword used a few times, but I've only been able to make data members, no member functions or anything of that sort.
Another thing I want to consider is its capability of Polymorphism (ambiguous classes, virtual functions, etc), public/protected/private, and other things that you'd find in C++ classes.

I bet you all can tell that I'm a C++ guy, I'm just starting to experiment with DBPro again.

Rather then try and make DBPRO into something it's not, why not use Dark DGK with C++

The types in DBPro share almost nothing with C++ classes. They're implemented more like C structs instead(no methods, inheritance/polymorphism, private/public/virtual/friend, etc).

I knew someone would mention that. The thing is that I'm using Visual C++ 2010 Express, I don't think GDK is compatable. But whatever, that's not the focus of this thread and I'll probably make a new one about that.

I might spark another question about that here though: will all of the DLLs I have (Physics, AI, etc) migrate right to GDK once I've installed it?

Ah, that explains it.

I've used DGDK before with MSVC++ express. But I had to configure some things manually to make it work (like the project templates).

Cheers!

They actually just released an update just for VS2010. I'm currently using VS2010 Professional along with DarkGDK.

Some of them will, some of them need special GDK specific DLL's, (Which should be part of the download) and some of them wont work.
