figured out the basics in about 4 months
advanced stuff 4 years.
don't let this discourage you, learning c++ has been one very exciting adventure, just make sure you always have something to do.

About a month to be comfortable with it -- about a year to be really good at it.
I taught myself. Started with the standard C++ B&S book. Visual C++'s examples were a big help, as was using MFC (though it frequently uses the language poorly). Lots of good on-line references for specific topics like inheritence, polymorphism, templates -- just start writing programs in it, and when you come up against something you don't know how to do, look it up on-line. Won't take you long to be comfortable using the language.

I learned in 4 months. I bought and read these books (in this order): C, the complete reference (this one is old but REALLY useful to know), C++ for dummies, programming games in windows, Windows Programming

I still haven't mastered it, and it has been a year already. It is a difficult language to learn, unless you are 100% familiar with the basics.
Study study study and practice practice practice.
