I used to use Visual Basic years ago to knock up GUI's for things. I was (and still am) a terrible programmer. I'd write the main functions in c++ and use syscalls because I knew more of that than VB. I just liked that there was something I could use to draw the GUI with.

These days, the only thing I ever use is either bash scripting or perl, and I know very little, just picking it up and learning what I need to do when I want to do something, which isn't that often. Thing is, I haven't found anything for linux that has the easy to use draw GUI method of VB for linux. I don't use windows now, it would be good to find a tool like that. Is there such a thing?

This is actually a good idea...  But he'd have to run a web server and he doesn't sound like he'd be very interested in figuring out the configuration files, paths, etc, to get something like Apache up and running, locally.  And even then, he'd have to get used to CGI just to get his C++ to be executed.

What he needs is an HTML-based application framework that essentially just makes your app a web browser and lets you handle the events like mouse clicks...  Surely something like that exists.
