WTL is a great attempt at creating a close-to-zero-cost C++ library around the Win32 UI architecture. I use it sometimes even today, and it's not bad considering the age of the foundations.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoYeah. It was a very good start but as usual MS abandoned it before it could get really good.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoThey never really embraced it despite it being used internally for several projects.
- Crinus 7y agoAFAIK WTL is still being developed as an open source project by the same main developer who originally made it.
- dragontamer 7y agoWTL continues on as an open-source project, supporting the latest updates to Win32 API in Windows 8 and Windows 10.
- _pmf_ 7y agoDo you use it in open source projects of commercial applications? If the former, I'd be interested in looking at it. I think xplorer² is written using WTL.
