How do you write a Windows GUI application in C++ ??
And is C++ the best language to write GUI applications in?
No. Nowadays the best language to write GUIs is C# on Windows (assuming
MS windows) Tryhttp://www.icsharpcode.net/OpenSource/SD/Default.aspx.
Which is fine, but who uses Windows? (Or at least, who wants to
limit themselves to Windows.)
Java - which comes with swing - is another good option for
making GUIs.
Seehttp://www.netbeans.organdhttp://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uisw=
ing/.
It works not only on Windows but also in Linux and others.
Swing is very well designed, but Java isn't very good for
programming logic in general. Using Java for the GUI itself,
with Corba to communicate with the C++ part, is often a valid
option, however.
C++ is good but with Java and C# you get plenty of libraries
included "out of the box" while in C++ you usually need to
find the libraries yourself, including libraries to make your
GUI.
There are a number of portable GUI libraries which work with
C++, wxWidgets seems quite widespread, for example. I don't
think that that's really a problem.
