I'm a CS student in college and I've been learning C++ for a year or so now. I feel pretty comfortable with the programming portion when it comes to just running programs through VBS or unix, but I never learned how to make a program that has interactive features such as buttons. Is this even possible using C++? I want to be able to make a program that has the user input data into textboxes and things like that, kind of like in VB.
You have choice or either learning platform-dependend system functions and draw UI manually or use one of crossplatform libraries, like QT: http://qt-project.org/
