Ok, so I have been coding in C# for about 5 years now. And I am wanting to move to a more cross platform language. It is to my understanding that c++ is a good way to go. I would start Java, but I do not like how easy it is to extract the source code. But I need a little help getting started.

What is the simplest cross-platform GUI library? I do not need much, just a basic window with buttons. Preferably one that looks native on the platform you run it on.

Is there a way to cross-platform compile? I am running on windows 7, and I want to be able to compile for Linux And Mac(Regrettably so.) and I would prefer not to install any virtual machines or anything.

You should try out Qt it is a cross platform C++ Library with it's own IDE and supports GUI. If you're coming from WinForms it will be a very strange way for you on making GUIs, but you will get used it eventually.

I don't think you can cross-platform compile since each platform works in a different way with different Code sets, etc.
