You can do this by following ways:-
1) Creating GUI in C++
2) Create GUI in some other language(Visual C++,VB) and call your C++ method from that code.

For the 1) one you can search google "graphics in c++". and for 2) You need to understand IPC concepts again google help you.

Hello,

yes i think i need the second method

using library component in visual studio to create GUI and integrate my C++ code in it.

and what does IPC stands for ?

Sorry if my questions sound stupid but i am complete noob.

As Usual I suggest wxWidgets and the wxBook is a good place to start

IPC for inter process communication. In that you can have two process one for GUI and another for backed processing.
and both process can communicate with IPC technique.

Thanks for the links its a gold mine.

But i was thinking more along the lines of visual studio.

I have searched but still haven't been able to find a Beginners book on visual studio.
