How do I make a GUI in C++

Keep in mind you can still use .NET on Linux/Mac/Windows with Mono.

And for the love of god, don't f***ing complain about it costing too much money. <snipped URL>
And if your one of those 'ethical' people who are religously banned from downloading illegal torrents, get a job, and use your second paycheck to buy MSVS.

MSVS is alright, but there is no best compiler.

Try Ultimate++ RAD suite (it's free; MinGW compiler in bundle):

I hope, you will get your first GUI application (almost) at once after download and installation...

Hi, I am Rammohan from Bangalore and working as a Technical lead in big IT firm . Solution for your answer is follows:
Depends on your requirements you need to select the compiler.
Once the compiler selection is over then 50% of the job done.
Based on your compiler you need to change or write your way of C++ code towards the problem solving direction.
I believe you know TurboC compiler. By using this also you can make Graphical design application. But it will work for only on DOS.
If you want to run your graphical application on windows then you can choose any one of the following compiler.
Microsoft VC++
Borland C++
After selecting the compiler you need to go for the GUI tools which are freely available on the net.
Skin Crafter is a evaluation tool and which will allows VC++ developers to easily customize MFC-based applications with professional GUI skins. Click here (http://www.skincrafter.com/) to learn more in this tool.
In the above tool you need to write the code and later you need to modify abased on the skin selection form the tool.
If you don’t want to write any single line code and you want to create drop and drag method way to create any GUI application by using Caretta . Create User Interface Designs And Interactive Prototypes In 3 Easy Steps Without Writing A Single Line of Code. Trail version is available under http://www.carettasoftware.com.
UCanCode E-XD++ is also tool and which will creates graphical applications for you...
Go through the following link for sample code for the GUI applications based on C++:
http://www.codejock.com/
And finally I can give you few tutorials links for further approach:
http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/
http://www.functionx.com/win32/index.htm
http://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/
Wish You Good luck...

VS.NET has the best IDE, the best debugger and the best compiler.
All companies use it.
Yeah im looking at the http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/dialogs.html tutorial and its really good! Its helping me a lot! It has a huge list of things on the left side about Windows Programming and a bunch of GUI. I'd for sure recommend looking if that if you haven't all ready.
P.S I USE DEV C++ TOO, YOU GO TO NEW PROJECT, AND SELECT WINDOWS APP AND ALL ThE CODE ON THAT SITE WILL WORK IN IT!
lol. But yeah

Or the Irrlicht game engine has an easy GUI, but to some it's still more in the "to-do" sort-of phase.
Can you please avoid the color red, or green in forums with white backgrounds. I can't see it that well. Plus "SHOUTING" with bold on, makes it a little worse.
Thank you, a personal request.
