Hello,

I am not sure to have understood what you would like to do. Could you explain a bit more?

Anyway, these links could be of some help:

Hello,

No problem:).

There is a lot of possibilities to write a GUI. What I personally use are wxWidgets/wxGTK and Qt. IMHO, wxGTK and Qt are among the best GUI (and more) libraries.

To help you beginning with one of them, have a look here where there are an open source book for Qt (sorry Qt 3 and not Qt 4 :() and one for wxWidgtes.

Anyway, both offer a very good documentation, mailing lists and forums. Look at:

If you have some questions, do not hesitate:).
