Creating gui's with C++

[knightwriter]

I am learning C++ and one of the things I want to be able to do is to create simple gui's. (Coding the gui, not using a designer...if that helps here.)

I'm a java programmer and use the swing class among others to create a gui. Is there something comparable in C++?

I use codeblocks mostly for my IDE, but could use dev++ if this makes a difference.

Thanks for any help.

There's a number of GUI toolkits to choose from, two of the most important ones are Qt and wxWidgets.

I thought QT was a designer to drag and drop controls and components? Is it also a library or class? I will check wxWidgets.

Thanks.

QT is a complete cross-platform application framework.
