I want to create GUI applications with C++ on Windows. I have downloaded Qt, and it works well, but it has so much stuff in it and so many header files that I really don't use. It is a nice framework, but it has more than just GUI.
Are there any lighter GUI libraries out there for Windows C++ that is "just GUI"?

Many programming languages bolster GUI improvement as one of the centrepieces of its language highlights. C has no such library connected to it like the string library, IO library, etc, that we every now and again use.
The C++ standard library does not contain any GUI functions as Java or C# do, but there are many useful external libraries that you can install.
GTK is a popular GUI that works with C .
Yes C++ is a good language for doing GUI programming. You have many options for libraries to use for making GUIs.
FLTK, if you are serious about lightweight.

Blurb from the website:
FLTK is designed to be small and modular enough to be statically linked, but works fine as a shared library. FLTK also includes an excellent UI builder called FLUID that can be used to create applications in minutes.
I'll add that its mature and stable, too.
