I somewhat suspect that WordPad is the only MS application that actually follows all the MS recommendations about usage of Win32 API and Windows HIG/UX.

- happyweasel 5y agoIt's written in MFC, and the sourcecode is on github (https://github.com/microsoft/VCSamples/tree/master/VC2010Samples/MFC/Visual%20C%2B%2B%202008%20Feature%20Pack/WordPad https://github.com/microsoft/VCSamples/tree/master/VC2010Sam...)
- homarp 5y ago"The WordPad sample demonstrates how to implement an application that imitates the functionality of WordPad, including the user interface elements and some of the capabilities." per the readme
- happyweasel 5y agoAh! thanks for clarifying
- pjmlp 5y agoGoing a bit on the side track over here, due to MFC being mentioned. Given the current state of C++/WinRT tooling, even the aging MFC is more productive for Windows applications. It doesn't matter it isn't modern C++, is full of CWhaterver, it is still more than good enough for those use cases where .NET isn't an option for whatever reason and C++ must be used.
