You can make GUI programs in C++ using programs like Microsoft Visual C++ or Borland C++Builder. Both have academic versions that have all of the features you'll need to make basic Windows applications.

You can use either one of those languages. I once made a little chat program with Visual Basic 6 for a school project.

If your interested in Windows programming with C++ you should learn Windows API and i recommend Petzold's book on it, it is like the bible of WinAPI.


winprog.org is a really good site also

Cheers
