There are non-visual libraries for C++. At least two of them are free and/or
open source. I think I've listed them in my site. Those libraries provide
classes in the pure model of C++... no Delphi components, just pristine C++.
They work or can be adapted to MSVC. Also, I believe that when the DOTNET is
mature we will have new alternatives. This is drifting OT.
