I posted another post to be thread, but deleted it :cry: because I thought you wouldnt want to read it :(
But I still want to talk about it.
I think C++ clr with Windows forms is very good for interface building, and very easy also. I made my utility soft for my new file system in a couple of minutes/hours, but it's still not finished :(
The only other software where I saw easy object oriented gui programming was Hypercard. You create a button, you doubleclick a button, you get to its code, yo write code, and voilà.

Contrary to popular belief at Microsoft, minutes != hours.

You might also want to try C#. It's perfect for GUI tools.

I love visual Studio Express. I think it really is good software, but some people hate it because it has the word Microsoft in it's title. In a time before I was developing an OS it was my main dev environment. It still is the main thing I turn too when doing windows programming.

As someone have already said it, try C#. C++/CLI adds extra complexity to already complex language, too many new keywords and operators... I didn't even want to bother looking details, but maybe I will have to, because of my current work.
