If you want to stick to C++: consider using Juce, it is really popular 
for this purpose and ported to other platforms (needs a recompile of 
course).  There is also the Ctrlr project by Roman Kubiak that builds 
upon Juce.

http://ctrlr.org

Otherwise, +1 on using Java, something that doesn't tie into a 
specific platform and works without having to recompile in another 
environment is always a plus and MIDI is (after a few false starts 
where you had to use third party libraries to just get something to 
work) integrated nicely into Java.

I can't really help you with the eye-candy, but I guess there are free 
libraries out there for just about any platform.
