    C++ visual?

    How do I get started making a visual interface? I could use the standard Visual C++ one, but I sort of feel like making it myself, how do I do that?

    Use wxWidgets so you're not locked into Windows.

    There is always irrlicht. Though the GUI elements are kind of tacked on, it is also a 3d engine... If you are into that kind of stuff. For all I know you are wanting to display some spreadsheets.
