Choose one of the multi-platform frameworks that work with Dev-C++  ( 
wx-windows, gtk+, etc ) - they all have fairly comprehensive websites 
with examples and there are lots of tutorials and code available on the 
web...

Google on wx-windows
Google on gtk+
Google on multi-platform application development frameworks and you 
should get numerous pages with bunches of frameworks.
