Unfortunately Qt is a bit tricky to learn too... especially if one has not got a complete concept of OOP ...and its build process...is a bit whacky //(..especially if you want to separate the gui part of code from the rest)!
I was searching for some simpler ones...but none seems satisfactory

Ideally, after this everything will be fine. But C++ can be a tricky language for newbies. If you are still content with this (seeking help a little now and then), then C++ is fine.

Thank you, that's a big help. I have just scanned a bit about QT on wikipedia and it sounds like that will be just the ticket. Cheers!
