compiler for vista

Hi,

I am an engineering student student with loads of MATLAB programming
experience and I now want to start writing programs in C++

I want to make a program that can take a screenshot and then do some
image analysis to find certain objects displayed on the screen.

I believe that this requires a visual C++ compiler with an integrated
environment from Microsoft.

My computer has windows vista.

can anyone recomend a good compiler that i can download?

Thanks,

Adam

Taking screen snapshot: off-topic, not covered by standard library or
general libraries.

Image analysis: some image handling support recently added to Boost.

No, it doesn't.

Microsoft Visual C++, free and fancy but limited IDE.

MingW g++. Works well with e.g. CodeBlocks free IDE.

In addition there's e.g. the Digital Mars compiler, but I haven't used it.

Visual C++ express edition is a free download:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/

To program Windows GUI apps you will also need to download the free
Platform SDK.

Unless you can live with using the .Net framework, which comes with
Visual C++, for the GUI-part (though you might want to use native C++
for the image manipulation part).
