Hi guys. I need to create a GUI in C++ and so I would like to know if some packages like GTK are available for windows. I did go to the GTK website but I swear I was lost! I really didn't know which files to download. I really need this urgently. I need to make a GUI wherein I can place images and move them around on each other. Thanx in advance for any help

You can find GTK+ for Windows here.

There is another GUI framework, wxWidgets.

Yes, you need to code using GTK API. I have used GTK on Linux. For Windows programming, I have not used GTK but I did try to install the Windows version and it comes with many runtime DLLs. I don't like many runtime dlls so I switched to wxWidgets.
There are also other GUI frameworks like FOX Toolkit and FLTK. These are all cross-platform.
