C++ gui+editor for linux?

hi, I want to get started coding for linux, but opensuse came with only a debugger (which I don't know how to use yet anyway) and I haven't been able to find any kind of design environment on the installation disc, so I'm wondering what is the best gui design environment + editor out there? I found a list of stuff at yolinux.com but I'm not sure which ones I need, and I have no idea how much different it's going to be than coding for windows. Anyway if anyone could give me any advice, or tell me which design environment is best for a long-time windows designer, I'd be most grateful.

C++ gui+editor for linux?
Check out QT from trolltech.com. Check out KDEvelop for X11/kde.





Also NetBeans (mainly java) has plug-in for C++ and so does Eclipse.





Linux is a power tool compared to the Windows sand box.

C++ GUI (Ubuntu)?

I have a text-only program that I need a GUI for. I've heard there is just some code you can put in to the source. Can someone help?

C++ GUI (Ubuntu)?
There is not just some code, as in "I put this code inside the sources and magically my GUI-less application becomes a full-fledged GUI based one".





There are however many free, easy to use GUI toolkits.


I'd recommend WxWidgets over anything else


http://www.wxwidgets.org/





But other alternatives are

http://www.fltk.org/

Reply:Check in sourceforge.net
Reply:See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_tool... . The google term Is GUI toolkit or Widget toolkit. To create a GUI, you need to learn a toolkit and then use it.





You haven’t mentioned your OS. So I’ll assume it’s Linux. The big players are GTK+ and QT. QT is the choice for KDE apps and GTK+ for Gnome. WxWidgets is popular as a cross platform toolkit, especially on Windows. Take a look. Each toolkit will have samples with source code.


Windows GUI C++ question?

I'm making a postfix calculator in C++ with a windows GUI. There isn't buttons for each number, just a text box where you type in your postfix expression and a result box that displays the result after pressing the calculate button.


I'm using Visual Studio 2008 express, and I've already made the form and buttons.





My question is, how am I going to read in the input from the input box character by character? This is my first foray into GUI programming so I'm kind of confused. Thanks in advance.

Windows GUI C++ question?
This depends on what you bind the "edit box". If you bind it to a string, then after a call to UpdateData() the string will be populated with the contents of the edit box. If you bind it to a CEdit, then you'll have to call CEdit::GetWindowText() to get your string.


What is the best C++ cross platform GUI library?

I want to develop a cross platform application in C++. I want to find out what is the best cross platform C++ GUI library. so far I have decided on wxWidgets, I just want to make sure this is the best choice as it looks like this is a bit "older" now and maybe a bit dated.

What is the best C++ cross platform GUI library?
Qt is easy and well documented


But the free version has no IDE on WinDOS so better you develop your Qt application on Linux and then you can compile the source code on WinDOS, Mac or of course Linux
Reply:gtk+ is free and support many plataforms
Reply:I use wxWidgets and it is great. There are some alternatives notably fltk and qt. Just google them cuz im too lazy to do it myself.
Reply:Qt. Unfortunately for commerical apps you have to pay.

C++ GUI help?

Hi, I have been programming with C++ for a while now, and I want to start making some


programs with an interface. What is a good toolkit? I have been using the book 'Beginning


visual C++ 2005' and have finsihed the part up to where they start making GUIs, however,


I would like to make cross platform programs, and I only have the express edition of


Visual Studio 2005 C++, so I can't use the MFCs. Also, I would like a well documented setup,


or at least something there are books on, and a good communuity would be nice. What do the


professionals use? When I am older a want to be a software developer, and I would like one


that wouldn't be laughed at if I was asked what I used








So, to some up that rather confusing post:





I would like a cross platform GUI tool kit that works with Visual Studio 2005 express


edition easily, I would like it to be well documented and recognised.





Thank you, Sophie

C++ GUI help?
you can see this site,you may find there what you are looking for:





www.functionx.com
Reply:Have you looked at the freebies from Microsoft (download or buy minimum cost CD):





Visual C++ Toolkit 2003


Microsoft Driver Development Kit (DDK) for Windows


Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 SP1 for the 64 bit and 32 bit compilers


Microsoft DirectX 9.0 SDK Update (June 2005) for DirectX 9 graphics





The first three include later and full versions of the C/C++ compiler and linker which can be used via Command Prompt (DOS like window) command lines instead of accessing via Visual Studio. Some (like the last one) include examples that you can play with.
Reply:Try QT for windows, there is a demo version available. QT is widely used for GUI development. It was designed for Linux but the windows version has MFC controls and forms aswell.
