C++ GUI-programming (for Windows)

[Gompie]

Hello,


I program in C++ for a number of years but always with output to a DOS screen.
Now I want to create graphical Windows applications.
My IDE is CodeBlocks.
There Is a (free) download book about Visual programming in C++?
I have read anything about Qt4.
What is this?
It Is already obsolete or still topical?
What if I have to:
This Is to use with the CodeBlocks IDE?
It Is free to download?
There Is another (better) way to graphical applications in C++?


Greetings Gompie

Charles Petzold is the windows guru for writing win32 apps. get his book if you want the answers to most of anything that would come up.

there is this company called relisoft that has wrapped the win32 library in c++. you could also use that. which is easier then straight win32.

if you want cross platform i suggest wxwidgets

Hello Acorn,

Thank you for this information.
I will examine this site and the writer Petzold.
I have one more question.
In my IDE I saw that there is the QT4 thing.
Can I use this also for GUI's and what is the standard today on the workfloor of softwaredevellopers?

Kind regards

Gompie
