There is no Point-n-Click GUI creation I know of that will associate events and let you tell it how you want things displayed by clicking a properties box and fiddling with attributes. There may be something like that someone has written, but I haven't run across it in a decade of Pi. The traditional GUI toolkits are not that bad to work with. You have your desktop toolkits Qt, Gtk, and your desktop agnostic types, e.g. wxwidgets and the like. If you are taking inputs from a handful of buttons, it wouldn't be too hard to pick one of the toolkits and just go from there.
All those mentioned, Qt, Gtk, WxWidgets, all have good tutorials you can work through in an hour or so.
Your other option is a web-application where you simply provide the data and then use the webby type tools (PHP, FontAwesome, and a bit of JS) to make the pages do anything you can dream up. Starting from scratch, those have a shallower learning curve.
On the other hand, if you are comfortable with C/C++, then adding a graphic front-end isn't that bad either, the only downside is if you have little experience working in those languages, it is a fairly long road from "Hello world" to making a Gui application. Where I to do it, I'd go the toolkit route, learn it once, it there for any project you have from here-on-out.
Sorry I know of no Silver-Bullet, but hopefully others can chime in. And then there is Python, I'm sure it has rudimentary graphic capabilities as well, but if I recall, it is generally from Qt or Gtk bindings.
