Beginner to C++ GUI
Please support our C++ advertiser: Intel Parallel Studio Home

I've never done anything involving GUI before, but wanted to try it. I figured I'd start with something small at first like a simple calculation program before I try to do it with something more complicated.
Where should I start and what kind of programs might be needed to do this? I've tried looking over some tutorials but I'm still lost as to what I need before I start.
One person suggested that I download a GUI builder to help. Is this a good idea or is it better to handle it myself?
Any help is appreciated.

There are a lot of GUI libraries available. wxWidget is a cross-platform free open-source library for developing native GUI
Another is GTK+(with the gtkmm port for C++), which I use is best if your platform uses GNOME as its desktop environment. Though, GTK is also cross-platform free open-source.
If you are on windows, you may use MFC but I don't suggest it.
Its better to go cross-platform with wxWidget.
Find some info about them and get back on us when you get struck

Here's my suggest for Qt (http://www.qtsoftware.com/products/). It's the basis for KDE (http://www.kde.org/) and is multi-platform (Linux, Mac, Windows). I prefer it to wxWidget and would highly discourage use of MFC.
You can get Qt Creator (http://www.qtsoftware.com/products/developer-tools), which offers a nice GUI designer.
