You can use Tcl/Tk. Tcl script (it's pretty close to C) to seamlessly 
call the C/C++ functions, using Tk widgets. Tcl/Tk is a very tried and 
tested set of tools. It runs in many platforms, including *nix, Win32, 
MacOS...

IMHO, GTK for Windows is not there yet. QT it is, but read the license 
first and decide the license of your project.
