GUI for C++ programme in Visual Studio .NET

I am a beginner and have written a C++ programme in Visual Studio
..NET. Now, programme is for time being Console application (= works in
DOS window). I would however like that it had graphical user
interface. Now, is there an easy way to create one in .NET
environment? It should preferably have following properties:

1. Fields for inputting variable values.
2. Drop down menu for selecting working directory.

What would you recommend?

A suggestion. First spend some time to learn the basics of C++ core language
and its standard library. Then you can move to learn whatever system
specific API (library) you want and use it to create system-specific
applications (e.g. GUI ones like .NET for Windows, QT for GNU/Linux and so
on).

Learning how to use an API after you have learned the language is not
difficult.
