If you're talking about windows based applications, get yourself a copy of visual studio express C++ (free) and start working on some windows tutorials. There is a pretty comprehensive, pre-made GUI for all of this under file->new->project->Windows form application, then play about with the toolbar and use tutorials to do the absolute basics.

If you're looking to make your own equivalent... well I've pretty much made one in DirectX9c and I can assure you, it'll take the best part of a year AFTER you've gained basic knowledge of the language before it'll be in a stable enough state to use.

If you're talking about 3d graphics, get a book (or more) on DirectX and be prepared for a huge timesink... probably years before you can develop anything of any substance if you decide to work alone (which tbh, is the best way when you're first starting out).

If you are using graphics in window then VC++ is best tool. If it is Unix system then check for ncurses.h or X-Windows.

Sorry but I have to ask... If you already know a .NET Language why are you trying to build an App using C++ Forms? It's far easier to do it in C#/VB than in C++

If you really do want to use it in C++ then something called MFC is probably your best bet as it allows you to create a Windows Forms application in a similar style to .NET
