Cross-platform standard GUIs are AWT, JFC/Swing, Tcl/Tk, GTK+, QT; the first two I know for sure are for Java, Tcl/Tk binding on Windows maybe only for Python and Perl, JFC/Swing is as complete as anyone ever saw and equally good for visual or manual coding. GUI on Windows using Microsoft's way is gotta be visually, then applying some programming hooks in its IDE products. I think the same is happening with Borland's products for Windows, this applies to any language including C++.

Hi there,
I've seen plenty of recommendations, and here are a coupe more.
Try Borland Builder, it is quite similar to program Windows C++ programs.
Another good point to start is the Teach yourself Visual C++ in 21 Days. It is very well explained and a good point to start.
The thing with MS Visual C++ is that the programming will be abit different. It will remain the same about syntax and programming rules. But for information transactions between your programs and your user interface it will be slightly different from those of console-like.
Well, hope this helps

Try Microsoft Visual Studio C# Express. Using Mono or DotGnu you can run .Net code on Linux too.

use C++ with Visual studio ( express edition - free of charge )
I recommend Java with Netbeans ( full version for free)
Java has a bigger graphic libraries.
