Use third party API's if you want your application to be platform independent or use the Win32 API if programming under windows. If using Windows, using C# would be more like it if there is no compulsion on using Win32 API or MFC.

Here is one of those third party API.

If you are using Windows, then you can use the Windows API to complete your task. Otherwise, for cross platform GUI Programming (for Linux/UNIX/Mac) use something else like Tcl/Tk or Qt4.

No problem. I hope you become good at GUI C++ programming. We need more C++ programmers...

in c++, yeah it sucks

in c# it's rewarding, and useful in the real world.

Well, I'm still a novice in IT programming world. If you say so, I would like to try that out. But people says C++ is more useful. Anymore suggestion? Maybe I should learn both. Now I'm currently learning C++ console programming, but I still haven't got the basis of it.

IMHO, C++ is not exactly an ideal language for someone starting out with programming. Starting out with Python would be more like it. Once you start getting a hang of how things work, jumping on to C/C++ would be more rewarding. Not to mention Python makes it easier for one to develop GUI applications -- easier than C++.
