Solution 1

You can use an editor for this (like vc++ and cpp builder) or otherwise would have to implement it using winapi (assuming you are developing software for windows)

Have a look at this link for some extra info:

Good luck!

There is no standard way of producing a C++ with a GUI. However there are some good open source cross platform GUI libraries knocking about on the internet. Have a look at:

- wxWidgets[^]
- fltk[^]

fltk is interesting as Bjarne Stroustrup uses it in his book on programing with C++ "Programming -- Principles and Practice Using C++." He's got quite a good description of how to start using it in that book. It's a bit simpler to use than wxWidgets as you're learning C++.

Cheers,

Ash

PS: There are others but I haven't used them in anger so I'm not going to throw a recommendation for their use your way.
