Although I've only played with a demo version, there is a program called
Prototyper that lets you set up menus, windows, dialogs, alerts, etc, etc,
very quickly and easily. It then cranks out code in any of a number of
langauges, including Lightspeed C. It sounds like this solves your problem,
but someone who has used it a little more extensively than I could probably
give you a better answer...
