Which version of C++ ?

The last couple of years Borland C++ got Visual Creator to make GUI, so where is problem ?

It depends on what OS you are planning to make the GUI for. If you are going to make a windows gui, you just need to Google or read up on the WinAPI. If you are writing the software for another OS just search for their drawing api or another similiar term.

I assume you're talking about Windows.
You could try MFC library.

Create new project using Win32 application.Don't let the wizard add any files, choose empty project..Add a .cpp file and copy the code below and compile.

CODE

#include <afxwin.h>

struct CMainFrame : public CFrameWnd
{
CMainFrame()
{
 Create(NULL, "Test");
}
};

struct CTestApp : public CWinApp
{
BOOL InitInstance()
{
 CMainFrame *Frame = new CMainFrame();
 m_pMainWnd = Frame;

 Frame->ShowWindow(SW_NORMAL);
 Frame->UpdateWindow();

 return TRUE;
}
};

CTestApp theApp;


MFC provides two important classes, CWinApp and CFrameWnd.The first class provides level functionalities and the second one provides functionalities for GUI.You have tons of reading material on the internet so I suggest you use Google.com

If you're planning to code GUI applications on Linux I would warmly recommend QT library.

That's because MFC is only for Visual C++.MFC stands for Microsoft Foundation Class and it's already included in the compiler.

This is a class diagram of a MFC 6.0 library:

I can provide you with some tutorials we used to use in school.

CHAPTER 1 - MFC classes, CString, CPoint, CRect, CSize
CHAPTER 2 - classes, inheritage, virtual functions
CHAPTER 3 - collections, object fields, pointer fields, templates, CArray, CObjList, CFile, Serializing: CArhive
CHAPTER 4 - MFC programs, events, DC. controls, menues, dialogs

Books about MFC:

Jeff Prosis, Programming Windows with MFC
David J. Kruglinski, Programming Visual C++
Shirley Wodtke, Learn the MFC C++ Classes

Tutorials about MFC:

Excellent tutorials about programming with MFC
Tutorials on DevCentral

If you're planning to code under Linux, you should check QT, Glade, Motif and GTK libraries.
