Does anybody some good sources of building Graphical user interfaces using C++? I'm currently in a project class where we have to do so, but we've never been taught gui programming using c++. We're using .NET so I pretty much just need to know how to create various events and how to get information from forms.

If you're actually using managed C++, you can use the same forms you would in visual basic .NET or c#. (and if you have .NET 2003, you even get the same spiffy form designer!). Unfortunantly managed C++ really just sucks in some catagories -- syntax especially.

Otherwise I would recommend WxWindows or QT. MFC is also an option, although it can be kind of hard to pick up.

Thanks for the advice. At my school we've focused more on just aspects of coding and things like data structures, but nobody talks about Gui's but they expect us to build them.
