Java has swing and awt classes that allow easy creation of GUI apps... Learning Java will always be an asset and if you already know C++, it will be reasonably easy to learn also...

If you want to use C++, I think you can use it with Tcl/Tk... For more info, you will have to search the net or wait for others because I have not used it personally...

VB is a easy-to-use programming language and developping GUI apps is very easy... But the syntax, etc is very different from C++... Also, for complicated calculations, VB gets a bit slow due to its interpretted nature.

VC++ is a good choice for programming GUI Apps in C++ - however, there are two "blackmarks" against it - It is costly and it works only in Windows... The first can be overcome by downloading Visual C++ Express Edition - a stripped down version that is available for free download on the Microsoft website... So, as long as you are not particular about cross-platform compatibility, VC++ is a viable solution...
