ROS has Qt-based GUI framework and toolset called rqt. I recommend to browse through first the list of some existing tools and see if there's anything that might fit your needs, before starting your own GUI tools from scratch. For mobile robots in particular, I can think of rqt_robot_steering for operating wheels at minimum.
rqt
provides set of tutorials to build your own GUI based on rqt framework.
