You can either design the GUI directly in your original application, or
have a secondary frontend application that sends input to, and parses
the output of, the core program.  This is how nmap (the core) and nmapfe
(the GUI) work.

Could you be more specific in what you're asking?  Do you have any
experience in Xlib or GTK+?

well a query similar to where i got stuck at one time and needed a gui
too....

well to interface a GUI to a c program....you need to use gui specific
libs...GTK+, Xlib,
Qt etc....now since you wish to do it in C, i suggest you go for GTK+
(coz the world goes for it in C) Although C-bindings are also available
in Qt 4.

using Xlib is quite low level and you may not like it's look and
feel....

you may even go for the ancient motif/lesstif....but still the look and
feel is not that good....Qt offers you an excellent and v.easy way to
integrate your prog into a GUI...

although there is a learning curve involved with GTK+, Qt, Xlib, it's
worth the effort...

you can try the following books...

Xlib programming manual: O'Reilly
Programming with Qt: O'Reilly

forgot to tell you though....if you are commercialising your app....you
can't use Qt - licensing issues....but if it is intended to be
completely open source....you can use one of the best toolkits around
for No Fee under the GPL.

You certainly can use Qt. The GPL doesn't put any restrictions or impose
any requirements at all on normal use. Can you post a poem on a billboard
and then sue everyone who reads it?

If you want to give your software away, and not impose any restrictions
as a condition of receiving the software, you lose the ability to charge for
its use. This is codified in the law as "first sale", section 109 of the
Copyright Act. Basically, if you lawfully acquire a work (without having to
sign a contract, click on a click-through agreement, or agree to an EULA),
you have the right to the normal expected use of that work.

I'm sure if they want they can find the thread on c.o.l.d.apps - let's

I'm not trying to repeat the thread, just to ensure that anyone who sees
misinformation also sees the correct information.

Qt is available in an Open Source edition and in a commercial edition.
If you are developing commercial applications (or rather, closed source
applications) then you can buy the commercial edition of Qt.

You really should read the GTK+ tutorial at this point.

Your question isn't clear, but you are probably looking for the
g_signal_connect family of functions.
