I'm just frustrated with the command prompt-esqe look of all my C++ programs and would like to learn how to make a cleaner GUI without download some crap "trainer-maker".

Win32 - Win32 -> Win32 Project
WNDCLASSEX struct
RegisterClassEx
CreateWindowEx

and a linker manifest file to make it themed.

Look it up on MSDN

.NET - CLR -> Windows Forms Application

I'd reccomend Win32 tho.

Other then using a lib such as the one suggested by Jani, you can also take the resource+dialog method. I wrote a small tutorial on how to create a basic trainer for Minesweeper using a dialogbox here:

You could also look into MFC, but I highly hate MFC myself so I really suggest you avoid it lol.
