C++ Creating a design (instead of cmd)

[Slashdash]

Hello everyone I'm new to C++ and i wondered when you run your program after compiling it always opens up in a CMD window, right? My question is: Can I create my own design/UI? I'm not so familiar with C++ so this is why I'm asking.

you can use a GUI programming framework to create your or UI.
Persionally, i recommend Qt. Its in C++;

If you are new to the language, you should first go through the basics.

There's no reason why a newbie can't jump right into programming with GUI stuff.
I do recommend using a library like Qt (+1). Don't try to make your own GUI library yet. It's quite a bit more involved than you think.

Is GUI programming available in Visual Studio?

it is available in VS. When you create a new project, select a type other than a console app (can't think of what they're called off the top of my head).
