Best framework for this is Qt.
- madduci 7mo agoMFC is rock solid too

- pjmlp 7mo agoYou will need it, because since Windows Vista, most new APIs are COM based, as they redid Longhorn ideas in C++ instead of .NET, and WinRT also builds upon it. Classical Win32 C API surface, with some exceptions, is mostly stuck in Windows XP view of the world.

- lazypenguin 7mo agoFLTK is great at being fast and light, that’s about it. It’s kind of cumbersome to use but honestly does what it says on the tin. Highly recommend for smaller use cases but can’t imagine using on a large project. I used the rust bindings which are well maintained.
