I need to develop a GUI application using C++ on Linux or Windows.
My question is, which language is the best along with C++ for making a GUI application on Linux or Windows?
Is the language usage changes largely from Linux to windows?
And please suggest a language which supports GUI development in C++ which I can learn in around a month and start off the project soon.
I know qt supports such facility. But is that the only framework available?
I think you are mixing terms here.
GUI development can be done in C++ using several libraries, to include QT and wxWidgets.

http://www.wxwidgets.org/
GUI on Windows can be created with several other libraries including the Win32 API, MFC, WinForms (.NET), Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF., .NET). etc.

How is coding for create Edit control object(Cedit class) with Mingw?
I read msdn did used "afxwin.h" but cannot found with MinGw compiler.
It is you showed code as good.
The afxwin.h header is part of the MFC framework. No one has come up with a MinGW version of it. So no, you cannot use it with MinGW. Note that even if you could, you would still need to buy a version of Visual Studio that comes with MFC in order to get a license that would allow you to use MFC.
If I were you, I would look into other GUI frameworks. For example Qt (which is much nicer than MFC to begin with; MFC is a legacy framework that most people don't use anymore.)

I want to create a user interface. The format should be example on the following link. I want to use C++ language as PL. So, Do you have any recommendation how can I achieve ?
DEvelopment platform should be both Windows and Linux.

qt
,
framework for UI creation in c++. IDE is avaliable for linux and windows.
User interface development under Windows and Linux are quite separate fields. On Windows you usually use WinAPI with framework on top (e.g. MFC) while on Linux GTK+ or KDE. However there is a framework which is available for both (Windows and Linux) - Qt.

I'm pretty new to c++ and am not quite sure what i am doing. I want to implement a supermarket , with a gui, and have it work on both ubuntu and windows. I read about downloading tool kits for it, but I dont know how involved that is or if there is a simpler way to do it. I've never done a project like this in c++ (java is my strong suit) and want to make sure i am not going over my head. If tool kits are the way to go, which one? how do i do it? and do i have to download it on both OS's. Thanks for the help, its really appreciated.
c++ doesn't include any facilities for a gui so you'll either have to use what comes with the platform or a 3rd party library that exists for both platforms. CLearly if you want to write code that will work on both you own't want to use the windows / ubuntu native api's so I'd suggest looking into something like Qt which seems to be a widely used cross platform gui toolkit for c++
You can download Qt. It comes with a lot of sample code and documentation.
You should write your gui using some cross platform library, such as QT. Qmake will make for you a makefile suitable for the different platforms you want to use.

C++ Applications have more performance than .NET so A lot of applications are written in C++.
But original C++ have no GUI support and thus Qt like frameworks help developers to develop Desktop GUI application However most of the applications are not QT applications as well.
What are the most commonly used GUI frameworks/libraries for large, cross-platform C++ applications like Adobe Photoshop? Is Qt common for larger applications? If not, what are the advantages of using these libraries over more common cross-platform libraries like Qt?
My guess is that these types of heavy-duty desktop applications are build on-top of their own (proprietary) GUI libraries. These are, in-turn, written on top of some low(ish)-level API like the "Windows API" for example. I expect that Adobe and Autodesk develop this sort of thing in-house, in contrast to using some publicly available library (like Qt).

I want to make remote administration tool. I want to take the first step by implementing the GUI or part of it (since it will be fun while being my first real experience with C++).
I need the following features in the GUI library:-
1) Modern easy-to-work-with paradigm
2) Modern kool features.
3) OS-independent. i.e. works on Mac OSx, Linux Ubuntu, and Win 7. And if could be, Android also.
Sounds to me you're looking for Qt.
Use Qt ... it offers pretty much everything you need.
Although there are already similar answers, it cannot be said often enough: Qt definitely offers everything you're looking for. I highly recommend it!
Have you looked at http://www.wxwidgets.org/ ? I've never used it in C++, but I have used the python bindings for it and found it pretty easy and very powerful. Believe they have a nice demo/sample code application for most of the features in the library too.
