Simple C++ GUI Toolkit

I'm looking for a nice and simple GUI Toolkit that I can use with MSVC++ 2008. I need something with simple examples/tutorials and good documentation.

I've already tried wxWidgets, and I had a real headache on trying to compile it. And the Qt tutorials and examples seem way to complicated for me.

I have quite a bit experience in Swing, it's been the only GUI toolkit that I've been able to understand.

Thanks.

EDIT:

Three years ago I was very young and foolish and didn't know that much about widgeting toolkits. It'd highly recommend using Qt now. It's been working very well for me.

If you're using Visual C++ then why not just use the built in MFC widgets? It comes with an extensively-supported visual form designer integrated into the IDE, right? You drag and drop components from a toolbox and set properties from a graphical list; it can't possibly be easier.

Uh, if Qt looks complicated.. anyway, try fltk.

Maybe FLTK? I haven't used it that much myself and it's not particularly popular, but it's a relatively simple library with decent documentation. There's also GTKmm, which is quite a bit more complicated, but much more widely used.

Is there a reason that MFC, the toolkit that ships with MSVC++, is not an option for you? There's tons of example code and it's not particularly difficult to work with.
