Library for Dialogs and Widgets in Win32 Console Application ( in C )

Question

I've seen a lot of console apps (that run on windows) having some dialog boxes and widgets inside them. Say for example:

A there are a lot more. Now my question: Is there any library (in C) for creating dialogs and widgets in a Win32 Console App?

UPDATE: Seen pdcurses, but it lacks libraries from the real ncurses library like menu.h and form.h. So ss there any other that is easy to use? Thanks a bunch! :)

GUIs have been mainstream for the past 15 years. Little point in trying to find a library like this when there are plenty of good ones that give you a decent user interface. — Hans Passant, Jan 28 '12 at 17:52
@HansPassant: What nonsense. There are _many_ contexts in which that is not an option. An engineering configuration menu over a serial link, for example. — Lightness Races in Orbit, Jan 31 '12 at 17:16

you can use ncurses, please check the following question from stackoverflow.com: Is ncurses available for windows?

there is also PDCurses that support Win32

you can also use the old library Turbo vision, I have never tested it on win32.

The cygwin suite should contain a complete port of ncurses.

Would you please stop writing "Bye" on a new line at the end of all your posts? – Lightness Races in Orbit Jan 31 '12 at 17:17

if you ou can get hold of an old borland C/C++ (v3.1 if I remember correctly or 6.0, I guess the former version). It has a framework to get just the same that you showed in your picture.
