using point and click programs
Alright i know i have been told that a gui is for making like a program that allows you to point and click for something to happen but if that is a GUI what is a GDI?
alright thank you but um an addition question if they are infact wo compleatly seperate things would you know of any good sites or books to learn to make a GUI unless you can basicly do the same GDI
Well, GDI (graphics device interface) is basically about drawing: lines, circles, etc. (it's solely windows)
It is rather low level.
GUI (graphical user interface):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUI
is about user interaction like button, text edit, etc. It might use GDI.
The most well known (as far as I know) are QT and wxWidget:
http://qt.digia.com/
http://www.wxwidgets.org/
but there are more libraries like fltk:
