which GUI kit is best (for you)

[tition]

Hi all,

I want to ask for some advice on which GUI toolkit to pick,
any opinions welcome!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_widget_toolkits#Based_on_C_or_C.2B.2B_.28including_bindings_to_other_languages.29

I have already written a small GUI directly in WINAPI for my computational math project. Now I want to go for a more serious interface by adding an extra .cpp file. Ultimately, I want to have a canvas on which to draw straight lines and text, a resizable table to enter numbers (of size varying from 1x2 to at least 4x12) a few buttons, combo boxes and text fields.

I would love if the GUI kit can be used on other platforms (I have a friend to test the code on Macintosh). The main bulk of my code already compiles on Macintosh (my friend just excludes my .cpp GUI file from his project).

Thanks and Cheers!

There are many of cross platform GUI libraries, the most used are Qt, wxWidgets and GTK+

GTKmm is better suited for C++ than GTK+ is.

Which of those would be best for making a table of numbers? (something like a spreadsheet)?

I finally found the moral strength to get a toolkit to a basic running position. My first try is with a toolkit named FOX toolkit. http://www.fox-toolkit.org/

It looks relatively simple to use - has anyone ever tried/used it?

The code is only 4.7MB (but the build time took quite some time on my excellent 256MB RAM 1Ghz machine).
