Making a GUI for a Rust program - exploits - Apr 26, 2024
Whats the best framework to use for this? I already have rust up and msvc installed, So do I just need a certain framework embedded in my crate to just recompile the program? Also would it be better to compile the GUI as a native windows application or just a Rust GUI?

A Rust program will be a native windows application. And no I would not suggest to use the Winapi directly. Just use something like this: https://github.com/imgui-rs/imgui-rs.
Online you hear a lot that it's only for debugging and whatnot, but it can be styled however you liked, is free, easy, lightweight... I can't see any better overall choice do develop a GUI.
Also imgui is widely used and has a huge community behind it, so you will find help online unlike for other GUI libraries.

imgui is good for cheats but i dont think imgui is a good choice for gui development

Well from the past 2 months I made a personal application that let's me count most of my git commits much like a git statistic to make me motivated instead of being depressed and stressed.
I have used this https://github.com/linebender/druid which 100% works on my windows, mac and linux operating systems as I use multiple operating systems and I need something "unified". I hope this helps my friend. 🙃

One cannot ask for better than this https://github.com/iced-rs/iced - it is mature with a huge code base and developers constantly adding features.
- - Good luck.
