You should use Glade to generate the XML file, and then in your
application use libglade to convert the XML file into the actual user
interface.  The C API documentation should help you:

 http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/libglade/libglade.html

There is also the libglademm project, which is a C++ wrapper for
libglade.  More info is available at:

  http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/docs/tutorial/html/ch19.html

There is lots of good info on using C++ with the GNOME libraries at the
gtkmm web site:
