I'd like to know what do I need to add a GUI to a C++ program. I mean having some buttons, sliders, windows, text boxes, etc but without having to use visual studio.

Is this possible? is there a plugin for eclipse that allows to program/include a GUI in my program?

Or do anybody know how can I program manually a window or a button or a slider or a text box?

I know that this would be very intensive and time consuming but I'd like to know how can I do manually this kind of GUI objects.

    Just use Qt, wxWindows, Win32 or whatever API: same as [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/9241149/212858), and [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/q/1186017/212858) ... oh, and notice that writing a GUI isn't really a function of the IDE, but of the runtime. – Useless Oct 03 '12 at 15:13
  • @Useless - Ok Thanks. I performed a search before asking but none of those suggested questions poped up and I can see that I can refer to them to meet my requirements. – m4l490n Oct 03 '12 at 15:28

    For people who don't understand this question, the user appears to be clear in his description to use a GUI interface, something that includes dragging and dropping, re-sizing and placing, using the mouse, while programming his project using the Eclipse IDE. I believe the answer would be to install a GUI plug-in such as what is commonly done with Windowbuilder for Java applications. Either it can be done for C++ while programming in Eclipse or it can't. For people that doesn't understand it, Windowbuilder actually writes Java code from the gui. He's trying to find this for C++. – L. D. James Sep 06 '14 at 16:02

Use Qt. http://qt-project.org/

Another option is WxWidgets. It uses native APIs to provide native look and feel.
