How about using class libraries which are free available like
YACL (http://www.cs.sc.edu/~sridhar/yacl.html)
There's a user interface part with the main parts of Windows, dialogs, menues...

It supports several platforms (also GNU compilers for Unix or emx, which is
the GNU-Version for OS/2):
[...]
Currently, YACL is at version 1.60, which has been tested under: 

     Microsoft Windows 3.1 using any of 
          Borland C++ versions 3.1 and later 
          Watcom C++ 10.0a or later 
*** no djgpp yet ***
     Microsoft Windows NT using any of 
          Borland C++ 4.0 or later 
          Watcom C++ 10.0a or later 
          Microsoft Visual C++ 2.1 or later 
     IBM OS/2 versions 2.1 and 3.0 (Warp) using any of 
          Borland C++ 1.5 or later 
          IBM Visual Age C++ 3.0 or later 
          Watcom C++ 10.0a or later 
          the EMX C++ compiler 
     SGI IRIX using Motif, with 
          SGI Delta C++ 
          GNU C++ 2.6.3 (or later) 
     Sun Solaris 2.4 with Motif, using 
          Centerline C++ 4.11 
          GNU C++ 2.6.3 (or later) 
     several Unix platforms (DEC Ultrix, Linux, HP, IBM AIX) with X windows
and Motif using GNU C++ 2.6.1 and later.
    (If you don't have Motif, try LessTif, available from
     http://www.hungry.com/products/lesstif. See the YACL FAQ list, however.)
