"Which will be better Visual C++ or QT", neither. C++ is a programming language and QT is a framework.

On Visual C++ I guess you meant MFC. If I wanted to develop a C++ program that makes heavy use of GUI I would definitely go with either QT or with managed C++ with the .Net gui builder because a good visual RAD tool for gui development radically cuts down the development time. In Qt I don't like that its quite heavyweight and it works with a code generator that transforms your gui classes into "real C++" before compilation. In managed C++ I don't like the dependency on .Net but this is much less of a problem these days. If you still want to go with MFC or native C++ without Qt then reading these short posts may be useful: link

If you only will target Windows you can use the MFC from Microsoft. If you want to be portable you better stick to QT.

But most of all, I recommend you to try to write big portion (classes and files) in clean C/C++ language so they are out of any of these framework to be portable. For instance your core business logic and communication protocols.
