Use code something like:

switch(key)
{
case '\n':
	j++;
	line[j]=i;
	i=1;
	break;
case ' ':
	total_words++;
	break;
case '\t':
	i=line[j]-1;
	gotoxy(i,j);
	cout<<" ";
	break;
}

For creating such an interface use VC++. Its the best for GUI's. Visual C++ is Microsoft's IDE product for the C, C++, and C++/CLI programming languages. Visual C++ 2008 provides a powerful and flexible development environment for creating Microsoft Windows–based and Microsoft .NET–based applications. You can refer to this guide to know more about Visual C++.

Use wxWidgets to create Notepad. wxWidgets lets developers create applications for Win32, Mac OS X, GTK+, X11, Motif, WinCE, and more using one codebase. It can be used from languages such as C++, Python, Perl, and C#/.NET. Unlike other cross-platform toolkits, wxWidgets applications look and feel native. This is because wxWidgets uses the platform's own native controls rather than emulating them. It's also extensive, free, open-source, and mature.
