C++ open window hello world

Question

How can you write a C++ program to open a window like this one...

Is it possible or can apps only be ran from the command line?

I'm using the G++ compiler... Do I need something else like visual studio?

Can I do it just by writing code?

Answer 1

Take a look at Qt which is a cross-platform framework that easily builds GUIs.

Then check out a Qt tutorial, do a google search. Here is one that will get you to "hello world"

Also, you might want to check out Code::Blocks as an IDE. It will use your already installed g++ compiler.

Answer 2

You can use Borland C++, Visual C++ they has GUI or wxWindow or GTK library.
