Create a simple GUI for c++ project

Question

I created a project in c++ that run for hours.

I want to make a simple GUI (For Windows) that will let the user to choose between some inputs,and click on "start". and then, show him a progress bar which represent the percent of the computation that has been done. (and probably a small animation).

1. What is the best way to do this? I never made a Graphical interface before.

2. I try to use Visual Studio 2010: In new Project I choose Win32 Project, and I found where i change the menu, but I don't know how to edit the main form. there is a tutorial?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I heartily recommend Qt.

You might also want to use Qt Creator as your IDE for added convenience, but this is not a requirement.
