Programs like PAINT

How Can I create programs like Paint ?

I know all the basics features of C++ like :

-Object-Oriented programming
-Classes and objects
-Recursivity
-Condicionals, loops
-Logic, Bitwise and Arithmetic operations

I mean, I can create any program but the problem is that the programs only appears on the Black Console. I donĀ“t know how to create an Beautiful, colorful and useful application like PAINT, where can I manipulate keyboard and mouse inputs.

So, Can anyone tell me what I have to learn ? What book I have to read to know this ? becuase I know that in the Black Console I cannot do all this stuff.


Thanks
You need to learn some GUI library/toolkit that lets you create Graphical User Interfaces. Some of them would be:
Qt: http://qt-project.org/
wxWidgets: http://wxwidgets.org
GTK+: http://www.gtk.org
