Need suggestions regarding design of FRONT END for project

Hello guys,

I'm an engineering student and have developed an application as part of my final year project using c++. It's working well. But I'm supposed to design a front end for it.

The way I have implemented it is: The user provides the input from command line like

prog-name supposed-file-name -level file1 [file2] [file3] ....

prog-name is the executable, supposed file-name is the output file obtained after running the executable, and then the file names.

Please guys suggest me how to develop a front-end for this.

It seems that you need to built some kind of simple GUI for your C++ project. I think you need to get some hands on experience with Windows API. Try this very useful and easy to learn Tutorial on making C++ GUI(frontend) http://www.winprog.org/tutorial/

What about using VB for this? Is it easier that way? I just want the user to enter some values in the text boxes and then pass these values to the variables in the program and then execute it.

I can use an API in VB that calls the executable file and passes parameters to it. But the problem is that I don't know how to display the contents of the executable file in VB window and and the executable requires the user to press a key after execution.
