I think GUI design is independent of the language used for implementation. It has more to do with how the user interacts with the application. Check if the GUI design guidelines in the following link helps: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa511258.aspx[^]

Are you googling for gui design guide or windows form guide?

Are you including C++ in your search terms?

GUI design would be relevant to programming a GUI app in any language.

Windows forms is specific to the .net framework. I believe it is more common to use C# rather than C++/CLI for this. (And it would be C++/CLI and not standard C++ that would be used for this environment.)

There is a lot of information here[^] on MSDN. In general the guidelines should be language neutral, as they are merely describing how things should look in the finished application. Whether you implement in C++, C#, Java or even COBOL, is not really important, as the results should be (near enough) the same.
