I need a software on Windows which will help me to design mockup GUIs. But it must also have capabilities to add some logic. I mean when user presses buton another page is open, it can have listbox, radio buttons etc.

In this question, they asked for static GUI, but what I need is the user to be able to change the view with mouse clicks.

I suppose "Flash" can do this. Any other recommendations?

I don't know of any software that allows you to design "mockups" with actual interactive functionality. You might have to consider something a little more real.

You might try Visual Studio Express (it's free). It's not exactly going to be a "mockup" so much as a real GUI, but the form designer is really quite easy to use, and will allow you to add functionality such as view switching / anything else. Usually when I am asked to create a mockup, I just create the actual form in Visual Studio, launch it, and take screenshots. It's honestly easier for me than trying to create a fake GUI.

Visual Studio Express is definitely the way to go, I think. The form designer is very easy to use and you could learn enough VB.NET to implement the logic you want very quickly. – jcrawfordor May 13 '11 at 23:27
It's probably worth noting that the form designer is the same for the C#, Visual Basic, and C++.net editions of Visual Studio Express. If you have no experience with any of these, Visual Basic is probably the easiest to learn, and would require very little effort just to get a functional GUI going. – Fopedush May 14 '11 at 2:10
