hi for my simple console app i want to provide a simple gui a set of radio
buttons to make a choice, 1 or t text boxes to enter values with ok cancle
and maybe help button

which way is the easiest way to design this and interface this with my
functions/class? and whats a good book for me to read about this

should i think MFC or more win32 for this?

thanks for any help/suggestions

Daniel

If it's a console app then you aren't using win32 GUI elements, and
therefore MFC Visual elements (based off of the win api) will be useless.

Does it need to be a console app?  If its running on a win32 system it would
certainly be easier to code it for use with the WinAPI through MFC.
However, if it must be a console app, you'll want to look into <conio.h> I
believe.

Not terribly long ago I would have answered that MFC would be the thing that
you'd want to use.  But I have come to believe in the separation of
computation code and interface code.  Here's the way I recently built what I
think of as a simple console app that was in need of a GUI.  I created a
"library" project and I put all of my computational code in that.  I created
a console app that imports the library and exercised all of the classes in
the library.  The console app was essentially a testing program.  Then I
created an ATL DLL project to provide an IDL interface to the library.  Then
I wrote the GUI in VB with the ATL DLL added as a reference.  The GUI could
have been done with a dialog based MFC project but VB is good for GUIs.
This was a lot easier to do than it sounds.
