Re: [Dev-C++] Just learning

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Look at wxWidgets for a nice framework for developing GUI-based
applications.

For developing/debugging your applications, I would recommend that you
either switch from Dev-C++ to Code::Blocks or downloads a free-standing
debugger. The debugger in Dev-C++ is a bit lacking :( Check out the MinGW
site for a graphical debugger.
