where to start?

[sinista]

Hey,

I'm going to start a project that uses OpenCV to access cam pictures create some data and eventually draw a 2d style grid based map,

my question is I don't know where to start in terms of doing the GUI parts of the project, what I mean is should I be using WIN32 or CLR (listed in the visual studio menu),

not that I really know what these terms mean, id rather do the project in Java, but my supervisor has said it needs to be done in C++, if I'm honest id rather use netbeans for the IDE,

so yeah, where do you think I should start, im guessing i need some sort of frame work to be added to C++ for the GUI (the quickest learning curve would be the best)

thanks in advance,

Gary

OpenCV has some gui of its own ( http://opencv.willowgarage.com/documentation/cpp/highgui._high-level_gui_and_media_i_o.html ). So just create an empty project.
By the way, if I recall correctly, you can write c++ with netbeans..

yeah I see what your saying but it looks a bit limited to me, eventually I'm going to want to add frames and panels and such I'm looking at QT at the moment does any one have any experience with QT?

Yes. Qt is awesome.
