If you want to use MFC, then I highly recommend "Programming Windows with MFC (2nd ed.)" by Jeff Prosise.

wxWindows
There are no really good books for C++ GUI other than things for Visual C++. You need to actually just tool around with stuff to learn how to build the GUI. I suggest using wxWindows. This is what I have been using lately and it is the best I have come across yet.
URL
This site below is a good source for GUI tools.

If you are a windows user then definatly try wxWindows. Use it with Dev C++ off of SourceForge.net and then download the plugin. All the installs are packaged w/setup.exe so installation will be easy.

Also wxWindows comes with a very descriptive help feature and a lot of source code highlighting how to do particular tasks.

It has a sharp learning curve for newbies, but all good wrappers do.

You could try using Borland C++ Builder. They have a trial edition on Borland's Site. It is a very powerful RAD tool and all the books that are available for it have extensive documention about using the various GUI components that it comes with.
