Is VB the language I need

[JSouthern1]

Hi folks,
I am a new member, I have experience using VBA with Excel but I have a new project which I hope will be possible in ordinary VB.
I wish to write a "Electric Motor Control" simulator.
Users will be able to choose elements such as relays, contacts, switches motors etc and drag these around the screen and then connect them together with "wires" to make ladder control circuits. such programs exist but none I have been able to find has enough or the right kind of elements.
My question is, is VB the right programming language to use for this kind of project.
As I shall be creating a whole range of Objects ie the circuit elements, and VB is I think an Object oriented language I hope I'm on the right track.

I think it is possible to achieve this with Visual Basic, but it probably isn't the best language for it. I am not an expert, but I think java would be more suited for something like that. But as I said, I am not an expert.
