Assuming C/C++, I am wondering what kind of libraries should be used to create a DOS/Linux type of GUI? Please see the photos below (I do not know what is the official name of such a GUI as I never had to create one, but now I have to!). I am not asking for a complete tutorial....rather a point to start!
I need to have a static page and update some texts right in their place (no new line and stuff). Also some buttons and check-boxes, # filled progress bars, etc...
DOS example:
Linux example:
It is called as Text-based user interface (TUI) and here is the examples of programming libraries and wikipedia link.
I have some experience with ncurses in Unix/Linux environment. I think ncurses Programming HOWTO is a good place to start.
CDK
Dialog
ncurses
Newt, a widget-based toolkit
PDCurses
SMG$
Turbo Vision

I would like to implement a GUI with a terminal emulator (NOT a system shell, but I would like to have command history, etc). I have only found QConsole, which is not actively developed anymore. Does such a widget exist? If not, where should I begin in looking at how to create such a widget?
Check QTerminal .Maybe thats what you are looking for. Else you can emulate a console using QTextEdit.
Lxqt has created such a widget for QTerminal, called qtermwidget. It works well and can be found here: https://github.com/lxde/qtermwidget
I developed a console for SWI-Prolog, one of the leading Prolog implementations worldwide.
Most of the code is required by the complex multithreading model implemented, so would be useless in less specialized environments. But it's actively developed (compatibly with high stability requirements) even if it appears to stale to 2013. I carry on with implementations in my own loqt. No so stable, of course...

We have developed a Windows Desktop HTML/XSL editing application, written in C++ using MFC/ATL/COM technologies, relying heavily on MSHTML's IHTML* COM interfaces, like IHTMLElementPtr, IHTMLDocumentPtr, IWebBrowser2, and so on, making it easy for an end user to build a website.
We are now looking at using EdgeHTML instead of MSHTML in our application. I have been searching for examples of how to create a simple editing application using EdgeHTML written in C++ to get started with finding out what's needed and how EdgeHTML works as an HTML editor. I have been unsuccessful in finding anything useful, ie, a full sample application.
We have to use C++ as our programming language.
Can anyone please help us in how to get started, ie, explain, provide or suggest where I can find a useable, functioning sample application as described above?
All we need is something to get started with.
Thanks in advance

I'm new in C++ and looking for a way to create gui just like windowbuilder under eclipse (java).
I will appreciate if someone can help me to find tool like windowbuilder.
OS : Linux
Thank you
Personally I'm a fan of Qt.
However, it depends entirely on what you want to do. Qt is primarily for cross platform development, so it'll look and act mostly the same between any platform, it also has a large library that may require a bit of a learning curve at first - but the licencing options make it look pretty. Also the documentation is very awesome.
There are of course a lot of other options like:
GTKmm (based on GTK+), wxWidgets, FLTK, etc...
Also this is a duplicate question, so look at some of these other answers:
How do I create a GUI for a windows application using C++?
How do I build a GUI in C++?

I'm an absolute beginner in Outlook programming and Windows GUI programming in general. But I have lots of years experience in C++ programming in general (not GUI)
I need to develop a Outlook plug-in and my question is where to start?
What do I need to know to let me start?
Can you please give me some useful links to learn ?
OutlookCode.com and it's forums are always my first point of call with Outlook related programming. Also see the Office Developer Centre.
For your specific scenario the COM Add-ins page links to the following ATL/C++ sample.
you can use Outlook ActiveX library or CDO COM library, the best choose is to use the first one if you are sure user has installed outlook

We want to include data visualization in our desktop GUI (mostly timelines and graphs; clickable, draggable). We want to restrict to open-source, non-copyleft C++ libraries that allow commercial use and are portable across many platforms. Which library can I use? Our GUI is based on WxWidgets.
there is VTK.
And if data visualization is your thing, have a look at opendx too.
I think this question would be easier to answer if you also stated which other GUI components you use. Perhaps that limits the choice of available libraries. Since you're C++ and cross-platform, maybe wxWindows? Would be good not to have to guess.
