Reading data from a MS excel-file?

[jjepsuomi]

Hi!

I have a school project to make a GUI program using C++ and wxWidgets framework that reads input data from *.xls files and outputs histograms.

My question is how can I read data from an excel-file in C++? Are there spesific libraries I need for this or something...?

P.S. any recommendations on the "best" APIs I should use for GUI etc.?

Thnx for all help :)

Make file dialog, then make filter, and output everything in text box.
