Learning C++ GUI Programming

Hey /prog/,

Over the past month or so I've been learning C++ from tutorials around the net. I've learned quite a bit and can do somethings in command line, but I'd like to get into GUI programming as well.

I've been using the Dev-C++ IDE to work and compile and I like like it a lot. I found wxDev-C++ which adds a form designer for wxWidgets to Dev-C++ and I've been trying to learn how to use that but it's lacking in tutorials to learn how to really use it.

I dunno if wxWidgets is the best way to go, but I'd like to keep my code as cross platform as possible(at least windows and linux), so it seems like a good choice to me.

So /prog/, where should I look at to start getting into GUI C++ programming? Should I stick with wxWidgets, or use something else like Qt or GTK+? Is a form designer the way to go, or should I do it by hand?

Thanks for the info!

Your logic is retarded. Python is superior.

Ruby is superior

Refer to this chart:

Thou makest no sense, good sir.

It doesn't have to make sense if it's __pythonic__

Come on, this isn't a war of the programming languages. Stay on topic please, no one has answered any of my questions yet :(

learn QT. DevC++ sucks, use eclipse

Any language that is complex enough to require an IDE is too complex to be worth using.

Eclipse sucks, use codeblocks.

codeblocks is for noobs

The only true editor is vi?

May I recommend trying Code::Blocks? It is a developer that appears as a fork of Dev-C++, but it is very active and open source, and is actually written in wxWidgets.

As for learning to program user interfaces with C++, there are a lot of choices. I suggest you try one, and when you are more condifent with it, try several others.

I downloaded Code::Blocks, haven't really given it much of a try yet. Mainly because school got in the way.

I'll stick with wxWidgets for the time being, and possible try Qt and others later on.

I'd still like to know, are form designers a bad idea?

The large majority of form designers for C++ just generate C++ code, which you'll probably end up having to edit, and they're usually more suited to absolute pixel position layouts than resizable geometry-based layouts.
