Really??? I thought it was a select few. Ok then, might start with C++ as that seems to a standard language. Thanks

Have you used C++ before - there is quite a bit to doing GUI than just drawing stuff. Even C can do GUI stuff - check out GTK, makes life a little easier.

Or try Windows Forms using the .NET framework with either C# or VB.NET if you are on Windows.

Visual Studio 2008 Express edition is free as well which helps and there are plenty of tutorials on the web...

Would recommend C#, has the C syntax which is good to learn and the .Net framework makes doing a lot of complex tasks(like GUIs) a doddle. Oh, and visual studio is very powerful, though I haven't used the express edition.
