C++ help

If you can write it in C++, you can write it in VB. Your implementation may have to be different, but you can get all the same functionality.

I thought that pointers and such are restricted in VB. For instance, if I wanted to write directly to the video buffer, how would I accomplish this in VB? I don't know though, I don't know VB at all, I just heard that pointers were severely limited in VB.
