C++ GUI help?

Hi, I have been programming with C++ for a while now, and I want to start making some


programs with an interface. What is a good toolkit? I have been using the book 'Beginning


visual C++ 2005' and have finsihed the part up to where they start making GUIs, however,


I would like to make cross platform programs, and I only have the express edition of


Visual Studio 2005 C++, so I can't use the MFCs. Also, I would like a well documented setup,


or at least something there are books on, and a good communuity would be nice. What do the


professionals use? When I am older a want to be a software developer, and I would like one


that wouldn't be laughed at if I was asked what I used








So, to some up that rather confusing post:





I would like a cross platform GUI tool kit that works with Visual Studio 2005 express


edition easily, I would like it to be well documented and recognised.





Thank you, Sophie

Reply:Have you looked at the freebies from Microsoft (download or buy minimum cost CD):





Visual C++ Toolkit 2003


Microsoft Driver Development Kit (DDK) for Windows


Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1 for the 64 bit and 32 bit compilers


Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (June 2005) for DirectX 9 graphics





The first three include later and full versions of the C/C++ compiler and linker which can be used via Command Prompt (DOS like window) command lines instead of accessing via Visual Studio. Some (like the last one) include examples that you can play with.
Reply:Try QT for windows, there is a demo version available. QT is widely used for GUI development. It was designed for Linux but the windows version has MFC controls and forms aswell.
