为c ++项目创建一个简单的GUI

Question

I created a project in c++ that run for hours.

I want to make a simple GUI (For Windows) that will let the user to choose between some inputs,and click on "start". and then, show him a progress bar which represent the percent of the computation that has been done. (and probably a small animation).

1. What is the best way to do this? I never made a Graphical interface before.

2. I try to use Visual Studio 2010: In new Project I choose Win32 Project , and I found where i change the menu, but I don't know how to edit the main form. there is a tutorial?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I heartily recommend Qt .

You might also want to use Qt Creator as your IDE for added convenience, but this is not a requirement.

The easiest way is to use the Visual Studio 2010 IDE and create a new WinForms Application templated project.

Microsoft provides tutorials on their websites and you can find many more via Google searches.

I believe there are several possibilities. If you are using VS2010, MFC might be one of them. Or you could also use .NET framework to build one. Also, Nokia Qt is another choice. Since you only want a simple GUI, I will suggest .NET framework, which could be easier and it is also together with VS2010.

If you're sure you want to go win32 (raw): you can learn it here: http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

Otherwise, use something like wxWidgets if you don't want to restrict yourself to windows

Answer 5

如果您使用的是VS2010 Express，则没有MFC模板和所有支持库（http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/hs24szhzh.aspx），但您可以从SDK获取库。

To clear some things up: there isn't a "forms editor" for Win32 C++ projects, you have to code the GUI by hand using Win32 methods. The people here have suggested using .NET to design the GUI using the Visual Studio Designer. This will work, but you'd either need to drive your C++ executable using the .NET GUI, or turn your C++ code into a class library that you can use in the GUI.

If you use .net It's like a different language; more confusing and slow with GC :/. Qt is mature, very well documented and easily cross-platform. Qt-creator is also very easy to use and not as heavy as VS. Qt can be used for free commercial under the lgpl license.
