ok so I want to go from text input to using click able buttons in C++. I'm leaning C++ in school and we just got past classes so you might have to dumb down answer a bit...
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main()
{
using namespace std;
float fine; /* total fine */
int tfine = 0; /* the total fine of ALL books */
int type1; /* this is the type of fine 1,2,3 */
int fpd, /* fines per day */ days; /* number of days */
char type2; /* the subtype a.b */
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << "\t1. General Books" << endl;
cout << "\t2. Magazines" << endl;
cout << "\t3. Refrence books" << endl;
cout << "\t4. quit" << endl;
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << endl;
do
{
cout << "please enter the code number of your book ";
cin >> type1;
}
while( type1 < 1 || type1 > 4);
while(type1 != 4)
{
switch(type1)
{
case 1:
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << "\ta. Paperbacks" << endl;
cout << "\tb. Other Genral Books" << endl;
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << endl;
do
{
cout << "please select your type of book ";
cin >> type2;
}
while( type2 < 'a' || type2 > 'b');
switch(type2)
{
case 'a': fpd = 15;
break;
case 'b': fpd = 20;
break;
}
break;
case 2: fpd = 25;
break;
case 3:
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << "\ta. Encyclopedias" << endl;
cout << "\tb. Other Reference Books" << endl;
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << endl;
do
{
cout << "please select your type of book ";
cin >> type2;
}
while( type2 < 'a' || type2 > 'b');
switch(type2)
{
case 'a': fpd = 50;
break;
case 'b': fpd = 35;
break;
}
break;
}
cout << "please enter the number of days your book was overdue ";
cin >> days;
fine = days * fpd;
cout << "your fine for this book is " << fine << endl;
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << "\t1. General Books" << endl;
cout << "\t2. Magazines" << endl;
cout << "\t3. Refrence books" << endl;
cout << "\t4. quit" << endl;
cout << "ΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓΓ" << endl;
cout << endl;
do
{
cout << "please enter the code number of your book ";
cin >> type1;
}
while( type1 < 1 || type1 > 4);
tfine = tfine + fine;
}
cout << "your total fine is " << tfine << endl;
return 0;
}
so I'm using Visual C++ 2008 express edition to do this and I made a windows form application and added 4 buttons to is and it looks like this
main .cpp file looks like this
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "Form1.h"
using namespace buttontest;

int main(array<System::String ^> ^args)
{
// Enabling Windows XP visual effects before any controls are created
Application::EnableVisualStyles();
Application::SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
// Create the main window and run it
Application::Run(gcnew Form1());
return 0;
}
and form1 is
