Hello everybody. I recently finished learning C++ and was wondering how to create GUIs in this language. I can make a simple window, but I want more. How do you make a menu bar where it says File Edit Ect. With the little menu that pops up.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. smile.gif

There are many ways to make GUIs in C++, it helps to know what platform you are on.

Base on your post, I recommend you to play around with Win32 API if you are using Windows as your main platform.

There are numerous tutorials on this topic... Try googling it.

He has a Linux symbol under his name, which suggests he won't be able to use the Win32 API. tongue.gif

I can't recommend anything, since I've never worked in Linux.

And you can never "finish" learning a programming language, everyone here is still learning~

First result for "linux gui c++" was this:

Where can I learn Win32?
