Hello,
I am having a bit of a problem. I am still a bit knew with C++ but very good with Visual Basic 6. I am still hooked on how easy it is to create a user interface with VB6. I was wondering what I needed to do to create a user interface with C++??
I am using Dev-C++ 5 Beta.

A windows-style thing? You're probably looking for MSVC++ with MFC or .NET wizards.

You might also want to check out the Qt toolkit, and Qt's Designer form layout tool.
for wxwidgets there is wxglade as a visual coding tool.
Or GTK+. There's a list of some other toolkits -- compared with wxWidgets -- here: http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index....Other_Toolkits

Thanks guys, I have decided to build my own GUI lib. Thanks! Bye.
Good luck. It's not as simple as it seems. Are you using the SDL or some graphics library, or how do you plan to draw buttons and such?

I have a programmer with a Masters degree in Computer Science helping me out with it.
I don't believe you need a graphics lib for a text based, the GUI won't be graphical so I guess it's just a user interface..

Oh, so you want to use coloured text to generate a user interface like DOS programs?
You have to be more specific -- most of us assumed that you wanted a proper GUI like Windows uses.

wxDevCPP is a new version of Dev-CPP and it has a visual studio style GUI designer that uses wxwidgets.
Code::blocks has a wxWidgets RAD tool built in.
Figured it out.
