Possible Duplicate:
C++ library for making GUIs

I’m sort of new to C++, and I have made a couple simple programs, but the only way to run them is in the XCode compiler. I am wondering if there are any APIs or programs that can help me make a GUI for a C++ program and include any info if possible about that library. Thanks.

    In general choosing a GUI library depends on:

    • The environment you are working on.

    • Whether you want your app to have a native look or not.

    • The IDE you are using.

    • Your expectations in terms of portability.

    • Which license you are ready to distribute your app into (GPL? LGPL? etc.).

    So it’s really hard to tell without knowing all these parameters.

    Anyway, to name a few:

    I have used Qt in the past and it does the job pretty well and it’s very well documented.

    Also, from what I remember wxWidgets allows you to build GUIs that will have a native look on each platform.

    [Edit]

    My assumption about wxWidgets is confirmed by the following statement on their website:

    Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets gives its applications
    a truly native look and feel because it uses the platform’s native API
    rather than emulating the GUI.
