How can I build a GUI with c++?

Question

Up to now I have been using c++ alot but the output would be in a dos window. The input is also through the dos window (using cin,cout).

How can I start to make my program into an actual window with buttons and stuff?
I want an easy and simple way, nothing too complicated.
I used a library called FLTK but it was way too complex and not that same?

Answer 1

It depends which platform you are making it for. If you are making for Windows, you should download MS Visual C++ .NET Express (not for bussiness purposes) . If you are making it for DOS, Turbo C++ or GCC would be what you need. I have little experience with Linux though. If you are making something for bussines, something you will get payed for, you should get a C++ graphics library.

Answer 2

GTK and QT are the main options, however QT requires payment if your program is not open source.

Answer 3

there is another library called qt it does great jops but I have not used it.
