Need guidance in non C/C++ based graphics interface

I have prepared a program launcher in C++ (the only language I know), which accepts strings as program trigger. But however hard I try I'm unable to give it a GUI like look; using graphics.h's graph functions creates graphics but in cmd like window.

All I need is a small widget/window like thing that sits on the desktop where a user can type the command string (and error messages can be displayed as usual).

Can I get a code snippet for such a widget/window? The input string may be copied to a .txt file and my prog will read it from there.

P.S.- I'm a beginner & rookie so please avoid complex alternatives.

Well, one of the easiest options in my opinion is to use .NET Framework:
