OS independent algorithm "Creating GUI applications in C++ in three steps": Install Qt Creator. Create new project (Qt Widgets Application) Build it. Congratulations, you've got your first GUI in C++. Now you're ready to read a lot of documentation to create something more complicate than "Hello world" GUI application.

Jul 18, 2012 · I am producing a piece numerical software in C++ and want to add a GUI (mainly for Windows). I know how to produce GUIs using comfortable editors in modern languages like Java or .NET. Now my question is what is the easiest and most comfortable way to add a GUI frontend for my program. In the choice of the tools am completely free (open source ...

For a GUI as simple as the one that you describe, you could simply create a Dialog Box and use it as your main application window. The default application created by the Win32 Project wizard in Visual Studio actually pops a window, so you can replace that window with your Dialog Box and replace the WndProc with a similar (but simpler) DialogProc .

Feb 4, 2013 · In fact, in the stock version of the 20.3 Code::Blocks one of the project options is Win32 app. It builds a 'very' minimal cpp file that displays a blank window and starts the message loop... this is a good place to start if you've never seen a gui cpp text file that produces a …

Apr 2, 2014 · There are no GUI libraries built directly into c++. Therefore, any GUI you built using c++ would not be cross-platform. There are a couple GUI libraries that come with Visual Studio - MFC and ATL are both fairly common. Neither are cross-platform, however. That doesn't stop you from using some other GUI framework, of course, if you include it.

Feb 21, 2011 · I've tried writing some windows-based GUI stuff in C++ using windows.h, but not only does the learning curve seem a little steep but also the syntax is extremely verbose. Creating a simple window like the above mentioned single line .net implementation can easily exceed 2 dozen lines using windows.h .

Jul 16, 2010 · Being an expert in both C++ and Python, my mantra has long been "Python where I can, C++ where I must": Python is faster (in term of programmer productivity and development cycle) and easier, C++ can give that extra bit of power when I have to get close to the hardware or be extremely careful about every byte or machine cycle I spend.

Dec 20, 2011 · Qt C++ GUI seems like a fun and easy to use software with the definitions of classes available right there quickly. With Visual's MFC I am seeing a lot of code upfront on the pre made project file and a lot of description of classes, however getting definitions is a bit slower as I have to go to the internet.

Yes, it is possible. What you want is a C++ web framework. You could start by looking at CppCMS—a Free High Performance Web Development Framework (not a CMS) aimed for Rapid Web Application Development.

Mar 4, 2017 · From there, it is easier to understand the documentation for a GUI framework that is written for usage in C++ development - since the documentation for such frameworks normally ASSUMES a knowledge of C++, and extends from there. Of course, this does mean that a student of C++ - if they need to develop a GUI - has to decide what GUI framework to ...
