Wrapping up a C++ console application in a script for GUI

[bheadmaster]

Hey guys, I have recently overheard some of the programmer guys in my school that it is possible to write a C++ console application to do a specific task, and then use some scripting language to create a GUI around that application.

Is that really possible?

If so, could you give me some more details and information about such approach?
And several examples of which languages could be used for that purpose?
