I'm .NET programmer and I'm looking for an IDE equivalent to VS that I can drag and drop the controls etc to my form. MonoDevelop uses Gtk# library, but I can't do use of it (in this project) of languages interpreted or compiled to byte code. For this reason was C++ chosen.
Use the standalone Glade tool for designing GTK+ based user interfaces. Also see the section on Glade and Gtk::Builder in the gtkmm tutorial.
If you were on Linux, I could also recommend Anjuta Devstudio for an IDE, but I am afraid its Windows support is non-existent and there are even no binaries available for download.

I would like to include a source code editor inside my software.
The editor should provide at least the following features:
syntax coloration;
syntax validation;
auto-commpletion;
code folding;
inline documentation (displays a called function documentation for example);
extensible, so that it can support more languages in the future; support at least C++, Python, Java, Doc-book, XML, Latex.
Additionnaly, the framework should be in C++, as my own software that wishes to include the framework is in C++ as well. Ideally, it would use the Qt framework.
Finally, it should work at least for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.
I wish to avoid develop it myself, as this seems a long and difficult task, and as I expect this need is quite common and many solutions already exist in the outside world.
So far, I only found QScintilla, but I am surprised there is not much more choice.
Do you have any other suggestions ?
Perhaps KatePart is what you are looking for? It's the editor component used in the Kate editor and the KDevelop IDE included in KDE.

Is there a cross platform gui library that emulate metro style look ?
if not, i wonder if you guys can provide me with a cross platform gui library that is customizable.
i tried SFGUI, its good but still in development and very bugy.
If you don't mind switching to another language, I suggest the C# and WPF that allows such customizations.
If you want to stick to C++ try the ones by Embarcadero C++Builder and their Firemonkey API(Its cross platform too) or my favorite Qt from Nokia
My other suggestion would be to use a Webkit control and build the metro style UI in HTML/CSS/Javascript instead.
There are many ways to do what you want to achieve.

So, I have started C++ (I already know java) but now I'm ready for windowed applications. I'm guessing win32 is what I what to start with, but my problem is, where to start learning this or is win32 not what I want to use.
There are many GUI libraries for C++ which supports windows:
Gtkmm (Gtk+ bindings for C++)
SmartWin++
V C++ GUI
FLTK
QT
These are the ones taken from stroustrup faq (Why doesn't C++ have a GUI?) and there is also wxWidgets. just pick the one you like.
If you want to do windowing, QT is your best choice in C++. win32 is just too low level these days.
Microsoft actually wants everyone to write touchscreen Windows 8/WinRT apps using the latest tools.

Please also recommend some of the good tutorials available on web related to that library.
What are the some good free c++ libraries

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
