Introducing wx dev c++. I recently came across an extension to dev c++ that allows you to easily create GUI’s. I was amazed by how simple it was to learn. In my opinion something like this was a long time overdue. You uninstall dev c++ (no need to delete the dev packs) then you install wx dev c++ in the same directory. Make sure you enable class browsing (only the local class browser is necessary cause the global is slow and a memory hog). The wxWidgets manual is a must for programing with it as well USA mirror. http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/wxdsgn/wx-devcpp-6.7beta_setup.exe 
Forums: http://www.solidsteel.nl/users/wxwidgets/viewforum.php?f=28 I was able to create a GUI front end to a virtual file system in a very short period of time (4 hours) and most of that time was spent learning how wx windows and the new IDE worked. Its about time someone decided to extend dev c++ but its written in bloody pascal when everyone uses c. Not to mention that you need the huge borland IDE and several third party libaries to compile the source. This is the best happen to dev c++ in a long while. I give it 6.5/10 for a great job for a noncomercial project. A Good Free Small alternative to visual studio capable of creating crossplatform guis visually.
