[FIXED] What is the best way to make a simple cross platform GUI in C++?

Issue

I want to produce a desktop application with a very simple GUI (a background graphic, a cancel button and a progress bar).

My main targets are Mac and Windows.

Is this possible using Visual C++ 2008?

Can anyone point to any examples using Visual C++?

Or is there a better way to create the GUI separately?

Solution

Use Qt4. http://qt-project.org/

This is a self containing framework which contains developers tools, GUI builders, String/IO/XML/Thread classes, Audio/Video controls, HTML widgets and many, many more features. It's built to be completely multi-platform, one code for all systems.

In contrary to wxWidgets, it feels more object-oriented, and has by far better documentation and its better maintained.

See it online: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/

EDIT- 6 years since the original Answer. I should point to Qt5 - http://www.qt.io/
