Does C++ have good libraries to accelerate Windows Forms like software?

Question

Hi

Suppose you have to develop a software to access customer database, let's say for example "SQL Server".

Are there good libraries to accelerate this job in order to give to my client a good UI?

For example, I could show a grid where he can select his desired customer for updating and deleting existing customers data, also offer a blank form for inputing new customer data?

Thank you

You're looking for Qt.

With Qt Quick (sometimes known as QML) you get a system to develop GUIs with barely any C++ code - a little like XAML, but lots better as you can embed it into the traditional Qt forms.

Ars has a little article and tutorial about writing Qt software, don;t worry about the 'Ubuntu' part, Qt is very cross platform.
