Creating UI
Hi everyone,
I wrote a small bit of code that takes in a .txt file and outputs another .txt file. I want to make it so that I can use the program on any of my computers, to do this would I need to make it into a .exe file? I have never done something like this before and I was hoping for help.
Would making UI for it and converting it into a .exe be easy? Can anyone help me with this?

Re: Creating UI
what you are looking for is cross platform GUI toolkit , in C++ you can look at , either wxwidgets or if you want mature UI there is Nokia QT or you can also do this Java

Re: Creating UI
I never touched on this before, so I'm open to ideas.
If I use wxwidgets, I can create the UI and program on a linux machine and still run it on windows?

Re: Creating UI
If you (a) don't use any Linux specific functions, and (b) re-compile the source code on Windows. Then, yes, you can.

Re: Creating UI
The way wxwidets or QT is developed , you would find there is little need to ever call native API ,
if you were to call either C++ STL or Boost or Standard C libraary you would find they all cross platform implementation.
