I second that. QT is the business, especially its signal and slots mechanism 
for event handling. Download it from http://www.trolltech.com/. It's released 
under GPL (and QPL) for X11, Mac and Embedded. 

However I'm not sure if they have recent releases for Windows available for 
free download. I'M NOT SURE. They may have and if anyone knows please correct 
me. It is possible to get free versions. I did get a CD-ROM with one by 
purchasing the QT3 book ( which I'd reccomend and is reasonably priced  - 
http://www.trolltech.com/developer/books.html. I think I paid about €28 inc. 
P&P by ordering from amazon.com. Be warned - amazon.co.uk was much more 
expensive).

Being an open source product there is loads of documentation on their website 
and elsewhere. 

And let's not forget that KDE is based on Qt and its GUI classes basically 
subclass the Qt classes.
