Nov 29, 2016 Download Dev-C for free. A free, portable, fast and simple C/C IDE. A new and improved fork of Bloodshed Dev-C.

1. C++ Gui Code
2. Dev C++ Programs
3. Dev C++ For Windows 10

1. So I have to choose a UI library for my game engine. Since I won't use popular options, I went down a rabbit hole looking for libraries. I thought there weren't many GUI solutions for C, I was quite wrong. The result is a list of 35 'healthy' C UI libraries. I also ended up unearthing a bunch of old, dead UI libraries.
2. Download Tutorial Qt 5 C GUI Development For Beginners: The Fundamentals. This course will take you from zero to a level where you can write any Qt C Gui application you may want. It is aimed at complete beginners but people with varying levels of experience wishing to learn Qt C Gui will equally find it useful.

-->

The aim of this Get Started series is to teach you how to write a desktop program in C++ using Win32 and COM APIs.

In the first module, you'll learn step-by-step how to create and show a window. Later modules will introduce the Component Object Model (COM), graphics and text, and user input.

For this series, it is assumed that you have a good working knowledge of C++ programming. No previous experience with Windows programming is assumed. If you are new to C++, you can find learning material at the Visual C++ Developer Center. (This resource may not be available in some languages and countries.)

In this section

Topic	Description
Introduction to Windows Programming in C++	This section describes some of the basic terminology and coding conventions used in Windows programming.
Module 1. Your First Windows Program	In this module, you will create a simple Windows program that shows a blank window.
Module 2. Using COM in Your Windows Program	This module introduces the Component Object Model (COM), which underlies many of the modern Windows APIs.
Module 3. Windows Graphics	This module introduces the Windows graphics architecture, with a focus on Direct2D.
Module 4. User Input	This module describes mouse and keyboard input.
Sample Code	Contains links to download the sample code for this series.

Most common quiestion is:

Is there any C++ GUI API?

My answer is MANY.

There are many API's for making GUI applications.
Here are some.

1. WinAPI: (C based)(MFC is C++ based)
Its a great API and the best solution if you are windows programmer. First code will look a bit difficult, but later (after making few apps.) you will see its not so rusty. I like it, because you can do almost everything with it (in windows). The only bad thing is, that you cannot make applications for Linux with it.

2. Qt4 / Qt3 (C++ based)
This is a nice API, for making GUI applications. It works under Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. Its really easy to learn and use. But, until you dont buy licenced version, you will need to add tons of -dll s, to run your application. Qt compiler doesnt work in Vista. And, Qt4 API has a bit complicated way, to get buttons to work, if button holds some more complicated operations(actually you have to make your own SLOT's).

3.GTK+ (C based)
Sorry, but I never tryed it, so Google might help you.

I also think newbies dont know for C++ IDE's. (Developing Enviroviment).

I will make a short description of some

1. Visual Studio 2005 (Visual C++)
This is a beautiful IDE for making console and win32 GUI applications. You can also compile DirectX10 or 9 projects as well. I didn't test it for compiling Qt or GTK+ applications yet.
Affcourse as a Microsoft product isn't free, but it seems to be really safe and stable IDE for Windows Applications.
I really like it, and I recommend it to everyone.

More info '>HERE

Dev C++ Programs

2. Code::Blocks
Great for compiling WinAPI, Qt, GTK+, WXWidgets, Ogre, D, C++ console, C console and other projects. I found some bugs, and sometimes there are problems to compile.
It's one of the best FREE IDE's.

Dev C++ For Windows 10

Information and download '>HERE

3. Dev-C++
This IDE, written in Delphi is the right place for beginners. It isn't perfect and it allows you 'holes' and 'bugs' in your program.Thats why its good for beginners. VS2005 wouldnt compile most of the code, which Dev-C++ does.

Information and Download '>HERE

SOME LINUX IDE's:
-Code::Blocks
-Anjuta IDE
-QDevelop

Ah, and dont take care about all off my opinions. I prefer VS2005, but If you dont have a money, than choose Code::Blocks or Dev-C++.

I hope moderators will make this topic sticky (read me)

I hope this helps

BTW: Sorry for my grammatic mistakes.
