Better Sudoku Solver Input Method

JakeIsBoss (23)
I have been working on a sudoku solver for some time now. The major problem is that inputting the values using cin is a pain, typing in the row, column, and value one by one as shown:
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
 
cout << "Column: ";
cin >> Input_Column;
cout << "Row: ";
cin >> Input_Row;
cout << "Value: ";
cin >> Input_Value;
cout << "\n";


All i want to do is make a 9x9 set of input boxes and a display method. GUI's are not my kind of thing, so I do not deal with them that much. I have some example code to start out, but I don't know how to elaborate on it or get the numerical values. Any help would be appreciated
