How would i create a gui in c++?

I'm fairly inexperienced in programming and i was wondering what i would need to learn to be able to create a gui in c++ like you would find in a game like half life 2. I have visual c++ 2005 with directx sdk installed.

How would i create a gui in c++?
Working on large projects like that is almost impossible for one person, but always start games on a smaller scale and go from there.

For cool backgrounds, you have to make them yourself with gimp. photoshop or paintshop pro..etc all that is an invisible window with a TImage component that you can find in your VSC++ and an image is uploaded to that. To make a world you can have you sprite(character) walk in, look into genesis3D world editor, or Gedit.





Hope this helps, I recommend to start small then progress, for example try re-creating tetris or something of the sort with kick a$$ backgrounds and go from there. Also find open source games where you can download the source code and mess with it, that will help alot.
