Should I learn how to use visual basic before attempting to use Visual C++? Or are they different?
Answer:
No, that's unnecessary. If you want to learn c++, just buy a good manual and dive in.
Answer:
Depends what you try to reach.
For general Windows programing you don't need necessarily C++ anymore, since .NET is the suggested way of Windows programing.
I'd advocate starting with C# (or Java if you want to target other platforms like MAC and Linux too).
C# is way closer to C++ than Visual Basic is, so it would be easier for you change to C++ later. The difference between C# and VB is almost only the different syntax. You can do the same things in both languages with almost the same effort.
