UI code

[GrantPlusPlus]

I am new to C++ and I am trying to find some code for a simple user interface, like a button that you push and something pops up. I just want to look the code over to experiment and see how it works. Any help would be most appreciated, thanks!

Here are some suggestions: If you want to program GUI applications for windows only, Win32 application is good for you. And there is Qt which is completely cross-platformed, and wxWidgets, another cross-platform GUI application and it is free and open source.

At first I wanted to use Qt, but I am running a machine on Mint, which can't use Qt, and definitely cant run Win32. Thanks anyway.

Maybe this will help: http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt5_dependencies

It did, thank you.

Well, its installed, but the .run file the creator came in isn't starting with the code in the terminal.

The file only has read & write permission set. You have to make it executable by setting the execute bit.

chmod +x qt-creator-linux-x86_64-opensource-2.8.0.run

Edit:: formatted

Thanks, I'll try that.

I ran that bit of code, and this command sh qt-creator-linux-x86_64-opensource-2.8.0.run and got this error message qt-creator-linux-x86_64-opensource-2.8.0.run: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

The file is not a shell script it is an executable in ELF format:

All you need to do is: ./qt-creator-linux-x86_64-opensource-2.8.0.run

That worked perfectly, thanks so much.
