I recomend qt if you are willing to stick with C++ only for the GUI. (can mix C code in elsewhere of course, just not the GUI). Worth the price in my opinion, but I can't convince the boss of that... http://www.trolltech.com/ wxWidgets is another common C++ toolkit, which is nice enough and free. Normally allows your application to look like it was designed for that platform. (looks like a mac app on Macs, windows apps on windows) The license isn't a big deal. http://www.wxwidgets.org/ GTK is a free C tool kit (with some C++ wrappers that some hate and others love). http://www.gtk.org/ Java makes a claim to cross platformness and you can call native code if you jump through a lot of hoops. I don't recomend it, but you can make it work. http://www.geocities.com/SiliconValley/Vista/7184/guitool.html has some interesting links on this issue, but I haven't explored it. Check out google too. Watch the licensing on the free toolkits. So long as you are aware of what is allowed and what is required, it isn't a big deal. Not watching them could end up digging a big hole.
