Cross platform

Hi guys,
What are my options to rewrite my app written in .NET on windows?
How to write a rich gui windows application without any dependencies on external frameworks such as .NET or JAVA? What is it called and how to approach it and rewrite it in C++?

Does that also enable cross platform support or easier integration into other platforms such as MAC OS X?
Thank you very much.

C++ and QT or WxWidgets are probably the way to go.

Of course, you could try using Mono.

@evilrix:

thank you, but all your solutions seem like a framework that needs to be included

@Kelaros:

So this solution would be something to work without a framework requirement? Would it work on multiple platforms?

>> but all your solutions seem like a framework that needs to be included

Without a framework, you are going to be lost. Just forget about not using one. Besides both frameworks that evilrix suggested are cross-platform. To give you a glimple on what you'd be up to without one, take a look at http://www.unix-manuals.com/tutorials/xlib/xlib.html - and that's just for UN*X platforms...
