GCC is purely a compiler with a standard library as described in the C++
standard.
ISO/IEC 14882 doesn't have a word about GUI (even while the commitee keeps
grabing new language features from other languages :)
Yes, no GUI at all in the C++ standard, so no GUI stuff in GCC.
What you are looking for is a GUI library/toolkit, some examples are Qt,
Gtk, WxWidgets etc. all of which are outside the scope of GCC.

I think the OP may need Qt because there is a Qt Creator.

Do you have a version of C++ that is visual with forms, command buttons and
all that, and can draw geometric shapes? I work as a geophysicist and have
done programming in Fortran then C then C++ for several years. I have done
some Visual Basic as well as it has controls to access drives, directories
and and lists of files.
Is there a version of C++ that has this visual nature. I am not an expert
programmer, its just a tool I sometimes need.
It seems Microsoft's Visual Studio supports this functionality in C# and I
don't want to go there. I want to stay with C and C++ code.
If you are targeting Windows, Microsoft's Visual Studio is a good tool
for the task. It can support GUI development for C++ too.
But I think mixing up C++ and .NET (so called "managed C++" or "C++/CLI") is
evil. I'd rather use C# (if I have to develop a GUI on Windoge).
No need to get into managed stuff at all.
MS Visual Studio can do native C++ with full support for at least plain
Windows and/or MFC - which is considered somewhat obsolete nowadays, but
for the OP it may be good enough.
