You'd be much better off asking in a Win32 programming newsgroup.

There is Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition, it's free.

For some purposes it is. Please ask in Trolltech forums on their web
site about that.

With Qt4 they have a GPL version for Windows.

Not true, Qt4 is available for Windows published under the GPL. If you
are writing closed-source, commercial code, and thus are not in
accordance with the GPL, you would need to pay for a license.

Also check out this version, built off of the GPL'd Qt3/x11 sources:

thanks all of you. i am so wandering about which one is better
between wxWiget and Qt4. it will be a pleasure for me to hear your
considerations on it.

Qt is GPL which means you can use it for private use or opensource. You
could also consider gtkmm http://www.gtkmm.org/ which is LGPL which
means it can be used in closed source projects. In the online gtkmm doc
you can find an appendix about development with gtkmm and Dev-C++ IDE
on windows

Well we use Qt.

EASY! Take a coin out of your pocket, toss it into the air. If it lands heads
up, pick one of [wxWidgets || QT]. If it's tails, pick the other! <G>

If you want to get up-n-running quickly, I'd try wxWidgets first, and dabble
with QT later. Both have their pros and cons. IMHO, I'd never state that one
was *better* than the other. "Better" depends on the programmer using it.

Go read the license for QT to see if it will fit your needs.

I use either Windows.Forms for C++/CLI (strictly for Win32), or
wxWidgets for standard C++ (cross-platform).

QT is nice too. I started with it but don't use it anymore. I'm not
much of a GPL fan though and I don't want to shell out the $$ for it,
so I go with the alternatives.
