    Hello all,

    I am currently learning C++ and am looking into building an application soon. However, I have never worked with any GUI before and would like to start messing around with it to figure out how to integrate it into applications. Any recommendations?

    Thank you.

    You could use Xcode's interface builder on mac to connect C++ code to the inteface.

    I am pretty sure you could use windows forms as well and connect it to your C++ code in visual studio.

    Here is a tutorial on using C++ with the win32 api http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

    You could also use OpenGL to make something, here is a library that might be useful https://code.google.com/p/glui2/

    It's been a while since I programmed with C++ and the best thing I made was a simple 2d game. I found most of this by searching google and looking through forum messages. I hope this gets you going and remember, google is always your friend ;)

    Thank you for the reply, I appreciate it!

    Is it possible to program mobile applications with C++ and if so what GUI do I use for that?

    Also... I have been searching Google, but I like to get opinions from people who are personally dealing with programming and can further explain it to me.

    Parts of your android app can be built using C++. I feel that Objective-C (IOS) is a bit similar to C++ and with IOS you could do a bunch of stuff with C++.

    There is a free trial which I haven't tried which is said to be a C++ App Builder http://www.embarcadero.com/products/cbuilder/ios-development

    It is the C++ programe where we can develop different type of programme such as calculater and other different type of programme. we can do it on the basis of online and offline. parts of our android app can be built using C++.

    First and foremost, my thanks go to my coauthor, Brad Jones, for his hard work and dedication. I am also greatly indebted to all the people at Sams Publishing, unfortunately too many to mention by name, who thoroughly edited and tested, and we believe this book to be largely, if not completely, error-free.

    Hi, you can try learning from books, it may be old style but still effective. :)
    I learned from this book.
