Most common quiestion is:

Is there any C++ GUI API?

It uses Mingw port of GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) as its compiler. It creates native Win32 executables, either console or GUI. Dev-C can also be used in combination with Cygwin. Dev-C is Free Software (also referred as Open Source), and is written in Delphi (yes I know the irony). This is a list of Library packages implementing a graphical user interface (GUI) platform-independent GUI library (PIGUI). These can be used to develop software that can be ported to multiple computing platforms with no change to its source code. Aug 27, 2015  Originally Answered: How do I create simple GUI in c? “Simple” and “GUI” are actually mutually exclusive. If you start from scratch, you might have something working an a year or two. It might start to get good in a decade. Qt Designer is a powerful cross-platform GUI layout and forms builder. It allows you to rapidly design and build widgets and dialogs using on-screen forms with traditional C Qt APIs. Even More Development. Nov 18, 2016  In this list, I’ll look at five cross-platform GUI toolkits that are programmed in C, and are still under active development. The five I’ve chosen are Qt, wxWidgets, JUCE, CEGUI, and CEF (some others—particularly GTK, MFC, and Cocoa—didn’t make the list as they’re not fully cross-platform).

My answer is MANY.

There are many API's for making GUI applications.
Here are some.

1. WinAPI: (C based)(MFC is C++ based)
Its a great API and the best solution if you are windows programmer. First code will look a bit difficult, but later (after making few apps.) you will see its not so rusty. I like it, because you can do almost everything with it (in windows). The only bad thing is, that you cannot make applications for Linux with it.

2. Qt4 / Qt3 (C++ based)
This is a nice API, for making GUI applications. It works under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Its really easy to learn and use. But, until you dont buy licenced version, you will need to add tons of -dll s, to run your application. Qt compiler doesnt work in Vista. And, Qt4 API has a bit complicated way, to get buttons to work, if button holds some more complicated operations(actually you have to make your own SLOT's).

3.GTK+ (C based)
Sorry, but I never tryed it, so Google might help you.

I also think newbies dont know for C++ IDE's. (Developing Enviroviment).

I will make a short description of some

1. Visual Studio 2005 (Visual C++)
This is a beautiful IDE for making console and win32 GUI applications. You can also compile DirectX10 or 9 projects as well. I didn't test it for compiling Qt or GTK+ applications yet.
Affcourse as a Microsoft product isn't free, but it seems to be really safe and stable IDE for Windows Applications.
I really like it, and I recommend it to everyone.

2. Code::Blocks
Great for compiling WinAPI, Qt, GTK+, WXWidgets, Ogre, D, C++ console, C console and other projects. I found some bugs, and sometimes there are problems to compile.
It's one of the best FREE IDE's.

Information and download '>HERE

3. Dev-C++
This IDE, written in Delphi is the right place for beginners. It isn't perfect and it allows you 'holes' and 'bugs' in your program.Thats why its good for beginners. VS2005 wouldnt compile most of the code, which Dev-C++ does.

Information and Download '>HERE

SOME LINUX IDE's:
-Code::Blocks
-Anjuta IDE
-QDevelop

Ah, and dont take care about all off my opinions. Tinkertool mac. I prefer VS2005, but If you dont have a money, than choose Code::Blocks or Dev-C++.


I hope moderators will make this topic sticky (read me)

I hope this helps

BTW: Sorry for my grammatic mistakes.
