    Best book for creating GUI using Visual C++ (VS 2003)

    Hi all,

    First of all sorry for the cross post. I was not sure which ng would be
    most appropriate.

    I need a book that gives guidelines on good GUI design (preferably,
    comes with a few template GUIs one can extend). There seems to be so
    many books out there, I would be very grateful to hear from any
    experienced GUI designer out there - who can recommend a book for
    designing GUIs.

    A bit of background of my self. I am a C/C++ developer, but have some
    basic GUI design experience using VBs Form Designer. I have a little
    experience of MFC but I'm hoping to generate a lot of the boiler plate
    stuff using MFCWizard.

    I look forward to any suggestions.

    MTIA

    PS: Any suggestions of libraries that I can use to enhance the GUI (e.g.
    XP look and feel, chart controls etc) will be evry welcome.
