C++ Method Help

in visual cafe for java, there is this extremely helpful api reference that gives you all the methods of java and wat they do. Is there somehting like that for c++? Where would one go for that information? i dont really wana buy a book, but is there any good website where i can search this stuff up? Thanks =)

msdn.microsoft.com has some good references, but you have to wade through a lot to get to it. Their references only cover the windows API and I think some general stuff.

They have the same autoocomplete help in VC++ as in Visual Cafe (Visual Cafe is a ripoff of visual studio after all).

THe msdn is kind of sucky, though, due to overwhelming irrelevant info; even just a straight google search is better IMO. I am not sure if there is an online ARM, but there probably is somewhere.

Suse 7.1(god gnome is crappy compared to CDE)/win2000 based system

be warned though that C++ doesn't have a huge centralized class library like Java. meaning it only contains relativily basic things like file io, containers etc. it doesn't have things such as net io, gui, multimedia, database, threading etc etc like java

Keep it brief

the msdn library is what you are looking for, you can get it on cd's for about 200$ a year, or you can look on the msdn site and see if you can get online access to the info, if you do a lot of work in C++ and VB you will find the library to be invaluable, if you dont think you will be using it a lot then try their webpage.
