Looking for a good GUI development environment to learn

[skata]

I am looking for a good GUI development environment to learn. I have visual studio .net and know only C++. I want to be able to have my GUI(s) interface with C++ code. What do you guys suggest?

How about MFC? You already have it since you have Visual Studio .NET and you should find it easy to learn since you know C++.

Visual studio .NET offers you at least two possibilities
1. resource editor
2. form editor for managed applications
Another possibility is using of many wizards. By using them is easy to add code, but that does not mean what you do not have to code at all (like in MS Access which alows you to code but you may not to do this).

There're several free and quite nice GUI toolkits, such as wxWindows/wxWidgets, Ultimate++, Qt(free only under certain conditions).

For now, you can download as seperate programs Visual Studio 2005, for C#, C++, Visual Basic and so on. Right from Microsoft. These are Betas, and they are free. They all compile to .net and are a complete GUI development environment.
