Why do you want to write Acrobat JavaScripts in Visual C++???

Have a look at the Acrobat help, as well as at the Acrobat JavaScript
Object Specification, and you should be able to set up your forms.

Always keep in mind that Acrobat JavaScript IS NOT webbrowser
JavaSript. It uses the JavaScript Core, but has its own set of
extensions.

Hope, this can help.
