You could try gtkmm for you GUI library; it has pretty decent 
documentation. See http://www.gtkmm.org.

As for the editor, if you want to work on eclipse I would suggest you 
install the Eclipse CDT Project files, http://www.eclipse.org/cdt. You 
can install it using the command

sudo apt-get install eclipse-cdt

Alternatively you can also install Anjuta, 
http://projects.gnome.org/anjuta/index.shtml, a really nice C/C++ editor 
which is available in the Ubuntu repositories. You can install it using

sudo apt-get install anjuta

Hope it helps,
