umm, I'll try to answer the 3 year old question. wxwidgets works really well - develop once and you can get gui's over a bunch of OSes.As for the second question, I have no experience with Borland products

I don't have any experience with borland either but if you want to create a gui for something like a notepad on windows, try these links:

http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/
http://www.functionx.com/win32/index.htm
http://www.catch22.net/tuts/

http://www.gametutorials.com/

those were the ones I've used to learn. If you're interested in creating games too, you can look into SDL and openGL. http://www.libsdl.org/


btw, is there a rule against bumping threads? this thread's been dead for 3 years.

To be fair, in the C/C++ section, the same 10 questions are asked all the time.

 

"Where did you -X- with C?"

"What do you -X- with C?"

"How do I learn C?"

"I have X. Please do/fix X for me in C."

"Learn C -because there's not already a thousand threads in here on this topic that technically fall into the Tutorials section."

etc.

 

I haven't seen an actual c-language question here that wasn't bug-related in a while.

 

So I'd see bumping threads as a manageable way of avoiding the very strong redundancy in this part of the forum.

You can use Microsoft Visual c++ 6.0 or .net to create the gui

How Can I Create A Gui Using C++

 

Hello to everybody

 

I�m learning to program in Microsoft Visual C++, I already know how to write a simple Console application, however I already want build Win32 Applications without using MFC, I have seen the MSDN library But this info isn�t enough. I need books that teach to structure a Win32 Application since cero. If somebody already know to program Win32 Application, and can help me, I will be thankful.

 

Good Bye;

I cannot post any of the books that I used, because, unfortunately, they are not in English. Sorry.
And even if they were, I'd have a hard time trying to find them anyway (backups...)
So I'll just post my code here, for creating a basic window.

#include <windows.h>#include <windowsx.h>LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam);int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance, HINSTANCE hPrevInstance, LPSTR lpCmdLine, int nCmdShow) {	HWND hWnd;	WNDCLASSEX wc = (WNDCLASSEX) {		sizeof(WNDCLASSEX), CS_HREDRAW | CS_VREDRAW,	//size, style		(WNDPROC)WindowProc, 0, 0, hInstance, NULL,		//WndProc, {cls,wnd}Extra (WTF?)		LoadCursor(NULL, IDC_ARROW), (HBRUSH)COLOR_WINDOW,	//cursor, brush		NULL, "Window Class 123", NULL};				//menu, name, def icon	RegisterClassEx(&wc);	hWnd = CreateWindowEx(0, "Window Class 123", "Stupid window requires so much code...",						  WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW, 0, 0, 640, 480, NULL, NULL, hInstance, NULL);	ShowWindow(hWnd, nCmdShow);	MSG msg;	while(GetMessage(&msg, NULL, 0, 0)) {		TranslateMessage(&msg);		DispatchMessage(&msg);	}	return msg.wParam;}LRESULT CALLBACK WindowProc(HWND hWnd, UINT message, WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam) {	switch(message) {		case WM_DESTROY: {				PostQuitMessage(0);				return 0;			} break;	}	return DefWindowProc (hWnd, message, wParam, lParam);}

The code is mine, but you can use it freely (coz it's so common it would be stupid to copyright it)
