    providing a GUI...novice!

    hello there...i am pretty much a newbie in the world of programming so bear with me...

    i want to provide a GUI to one of my programs...the program essentially provides some data mining features on a webserver log file...the GUI would recide on the pc itself...after a few days it might need to go live (as in accessible via the web)...

    from what i know, these lil' cgi scripts are used to fetch data from databases onto static HTML pages...could my program provide these features?...some1 mentioned inserting my C code into java applets...how do i go abt doing that?

    if i just leave the web aspect aside and just focus on providing a neat looking screen with a browse button to specify the location of the log file, a "Get Results" button and a lil' space to display the results, where do i need to start?

    would greatly appreciate your advise...cheers!

    What OS is this for? I assume it is Windows, do you want to run a windows GUI or your own GUI from DOS?
    Asking the right question is sometimes more important than knowing the answer.

    Try fiddling around with the Windows API, you can get all the information you want at MSDN.
