Or in other words...
Is there something similiar looking (or feeling) visual-basic-like programming environment that runs on the linux operating system and is used to build gui-based applications that runs on linux systems?

I am not suggesting that this language uses the syntax of BASIC in anyway. Rather can we build gui applications based on the same idea that a visual basic developer environment uses. For e.g. can we simply drag and drop controls and then add code to them like we do in normal visual basic. Or do we have to hard code everything...?

Yes of course there is Java. But that was not what I had in mind... I am talking about applications that predominantly run in the linux platform without the use of virtual environments, of any kind for that matter.

not sure the need - it would influence my recomendation. For a GPL'ed VB type IDE chech out:
http://gambas.sourceforge.net/
if thats not what you need read:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_integrated_development_environments
or maybe search the eclipse plug in list....

hi!
There is no language like Visual Basic. In Linux Python used to develop the GUI applications.

Programs designed for Windows will not work on any version of Linux. You'll need to get/buy linux versions (or similar programs) to install them on linux. Eg- you can get OpenOffice for Linux which has a word procrssor, spreadsheet etc.

There are many. For example: For website designing, there is Java. I think even VB can be used through Linux

Yes there is Qt which is similar to VB ,is used to create X applications in Linux .
We have similar menubars, scollbars, dropdown lists, checkboxes, buttons, multiple document interface, .... which can be dragged and dropped like in VB.

You should consider upgrading your skills to C++ or JAVA, in that case.
You might like Python but I don't know what it is you're wanting to build.

Oh yes ! Definitely there is. Use Qt. or Delphi. You will find them even more easier than VB.. and strictly structered. Meaning less memory holes .....................

if you're looking to build GUI apps, probably not as those are mostly hooks into built in windows apis... time to learn a real language... :-/
