Absolute Beginner needs Gui for a C-Program

[joachim.zettler at googlemail.com]

Hello,

as you can see in the subject i am an absolute beginner in
gui-programming. Up to now i only did c-programming and no c++ at all.

My problem is, that i have written a program in c which runs pretty
well (a control for two independent tooling machines) but only with a
console "gui" :(

Now there is the possibility that i can get the current status of the
two machines by simply calling a dll-function i already have.

I now want to build a gui with wxdevc++ that has some kind of radio
buttons that are checked automatically when a certain status of my
machine is reached (for example a "ready for operation"). I want to do
this by creating a thread where the status function of the dll is
continuously used. This thread should  then send the status to the main
window and display it here.

Then my gui should also include some check-boxes where i can switch on
certain functionalities or not.

Then finally i need a button i can press to start my already written
c-program.

Would it be possible for you to give me some hints on these tasks.

Thx a lot in advance.

Best regards,

Joachim
