I'd like to know what is the best and faster way to write a GUI in C++.
In the past I've created my GUI with just Windows API.
Now I'd like to read some suggestion about other libs like GTK , MFC , QT ecc.
Thanks :)
Use Qt. It's powerful and easy to use, also, it's cross-platform. If I need a GUI for C++, I always go for Qt.

Is there any C++ GUI lib here that is fast, has highly customizable looks (like Swing) and ofcourse, of much higher level of abstraction then Win32?
I'm a complete begginer in c++ but loved Java+Swing combo very much for their customizability.
Simply put, I want the lib to be easy to learn, can be customized by simply subclassing and overiding their painting (like Swing) and free :)
Please help me!
P.S. I use orwell dev-c++ portable fork with 32 bit gcc. if that matters.
Qt is what you're looking for: http://qt-project.org
There's plenty: wxWidgets, Qt, GTK+, and many many more. All easy to find in short time using any search engine.

I know this question has been asked a lot, but I want to find a book on windows programming with C++ that specifically focuses on GUIs. I picked up a book on C++ game programming, and in the begging it covered a little bit of windows GUI programming. So now I would like to be able to get a little more in depth on the subject. Any suggestions?
P.S.
I'm talking about win32 programs.
Programming Windows is the classic and probably a good place to start.

I have decided to start learning Qt C++ and HTML5
Please somebody provide some good step by step tutorials about Qt HTML5
Or demos
http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/
Best Qt knowledge center ever :)
Qt and HTML5 are a little distant: Qt is from the Desktop Federation and HTML5 is of the Web Republic, but if you'd like to combine them, you might be interested in QtWUI.

What do you need to learn OpenGL? Do you need to learn C/C++ first? I have experience with C but none with C++.
I would suggest using c++ due to it having an object oriented side, but the opengl is cross platform
http://www.opengl.org/resources/bindings/
You can use mostly C with very little C++.
I would suggest looking at nehe.gamedev.net for some tutorials to help out.

I want to start a project in c++ and is looking for a good framework with all the good libraries for making a small GUI desktop software, I feel its good to stop a while and listen to you before kick off.
Also please suggest:
if openFrameworks is a good choice?
other good cpp frameworks (especially for GUI desktop application)
depends what you are trying to do.
for a simple application i would look into wxWidgets or qt
it seems like openframeworks is geard more towards opengl developement like for games
