作者的话：C++标准中并没有包含GUI，这也使得C++开发图形化界面需要依赖于第三方的库。实际上，图形界面恰恰是C++的强项，小到平常使用的各类桌面软件，大到魔兽世界这样的游戏，都是C++擅长的地方。C++之所以能做到这一点，原因在于它是一门即能提供极高的性能，又能提供良好接口的语言。C性能很高，但是封装太差；Java封装很好，但性能不适合做界面开发，更别谈大型游戏。C++的GUI库除了最为人所熟知的MFC，其实还有其它很多，这篇文章列举了8个免费且实用的C++ GUI库。

 

C++ is a multi paradigm, free formcomplied, general purpose and thus a very powerful language used basically for the purpose of programming. This language is regarded as an intermediate level language .The main reason for this is that it consists of both high level as well as low level features.

It is one of the most popular programming languages due to many reasons. It has application domains which include system software, device drivers, application software and many other including client applications and entertainment software of which the best example is a video game.

GUI is the acronym used for graphical user interface .This can be defined as a type of user interface that allows users to interact with electronic devices directly rather than following commands. This software can not only be used in computers but in addition it can also be used in hand held latest devices such as gaming devices or music players of various kinds.

Today we are going to share C++ GUI Libraries for developers, i hope these libraries would help developers a lot in their next project to make impressive and attractive layout for their nest applications. Visit this list and share your thought in our comment section below.

1)

Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. It includes a cross-platform class library, integrated development tools and a cross-platform IDE. Using Qt, you can write web-enabled applications once and deploy them across many desktop and embeddedoperating systems without rewriting the source code.

2)

FLTK (pronounced “fulltick”) is a cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit for UNIX/Linux (X11), Microsoft Windows, and MacOS X. FLTK provides modern GUI functionality without the bloat and supports 3D graphics via OpenGL and its built-in GLUT emulation. FLTK is designed to be small and modular enough to be statically linked, but works fine as a shared library. FLTK also includes an excellent UI builder called FLUID that can be used to create applications in minutes.

3)

FOX is a C++ based Toolkit for developing Graphical User Interfaces easily and effectively. It offers a wide, and growing, collection of Controls, and provides state of the art facilities such as drag and drop, selection, as well as OpenGL widgets for 3D graphical manipulation. FOX also implements icons, images, and user-convenience features such as status line help, and tooltips. Tooltips may even be used for 3D objects!

4)

GPE Phone Edition (G(PE)²) is meant to develop a GTK / GPE based a software stack for mobile Linux devices, especially mobile phones. Please also see our mission statement for more details about the goal and how to reach them.

5)

LGI is a GUI framework for abstracting out all the operating system dependencies that you can produce portable code. It handles all the graphical interface functions, threading and semaphores, network connectivity and lots of other bits and peices to help build small, fast and reliable applications.

6)

wxWidgets is a C++ library that lets developers create applications forWindows, OS X, Linux and UNIX on 32-bit and 64-bit architectures as well as several mobile platforms including Windows Mobile, iPhone SDK and embedded GTK+.

7)

U++ is a C++ cross-platform rapid application development framework focused on programmers productivity. It includes a set of libraries (GUI, SQL, etc..), and an integrated development environment.

8)

ZooLib allows you build native applications for a variety of platforms and processors from a single code base, with little need for platform-specific source. In the rare event non-portable code becomes necessary, it is simple and easy to include it inline via conditional compilation, using one of the provided preprocessor symbols.
