How do you make a gui in c++?

Question

i'd also like to get a couple of tutorial sites. i am a noob when it comes to gui's in c++ though i am pretty good at console programming.

Answer 1

gtk+

wxwidgets

qt

They are all cross platform and you don't need an ide to develop with them.  On the Qt web site are some excellent tutorials.  I am sure the other 2 have good tutorials as well although wxWidgets is not as full featured as the other 2.  Qt by far has the most features.

As for one of the answers that C++ is bit of a low level language that is a worthless statement.  The standard library may not have a gui framework or api but without a doubt C++ has many frameworks and apis available for it.  I listed three and I understand you can rather painlessly develop Cocoa apps in C++ as well.  Plus there is MFC and .Net, and X and Symbian.    

Answer 2

use visual c++ and making gui is gonna be as easy as dragging and dropping

Answer 3

I would recommend Visual C++ for GUI programming if you want to do Win32 or MFC. You can get the compiler here for free, but you'l have to upgrade to standard edition (about $250-300) for MFC and resource editting.

MFC:

WIN32:

These tutorials can get you started with graphics programming in OpenGL. You can use GLUT, like this, for simpler GUI work.

You can go through the tutorials and if you have questions on them, please post to me here:

Answer 4

C++ is a bit low level language , so its **standard** library has NO functions for GUI stuff . Use a library or u can even use a non standard library like <graphics.h>
