Is there any documentation avail? I like WTL, but I never got around to dig in deeper.....
the programmers just set it so that when in doubt, the women still think they're involved with you. It's much less frustrating that way - BGII Quest Directory
Hello, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wtl is a good place to start. There are links to some documents, I do not remember the exact URL (www.clipcode.com o something like that) On the other hand, ATL and WTL are known for the lack of documentation. Do not let this hold you back. Start with simple examples, and you will get into the template CWindowImpl stuff... It pays off Kind regards, R.

it's not old for people who didn't see the first one.

Anyone else having problems getting the Alpha sample to compile. Im trying on WinXP Professional, VS 6.0 SP5 and I get errors that AltInitCommonControls and AtlIsAlphaBitmapResource are undelared identifier.

Of course not, I was only kidding with Ramon, actually it's just great news that a few more reposts wouldn't do any warm :) Great Nenad, the guy fought a lot for WTL to see the light on the tunnel and this is a very worthy reward, a very cool and efficent template library. Kudos for him :) WTL 7 it's the best response for the people that predicted the dead of WTL on version 1. Cheers, Joao Vaz

Does it have basic documentation yet? Support from more than one programmer working half-time? Without those it will continue to be worthless.

Hello, Documentation... yes I agree it could be far better. However, with the ATL documentation existing in VS .NET (The CWindow and CWindowImpl CDialog and CDialogImpl among others *are* part of ATL which I do not think that is supported by a programmer working half time), and some simple yet welcome documentation efforts (you may cfr the links section on the WTL group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wtl), things are getting better. On the otherhand, the source it's quite self-explanatory... once you get the "feeling"... For most basic usage they are wrappers around the SDK (which *is* well documented) and has a lot of similarities with MFC. You have the choice. The web page says it is unsupported. That does not mean it is worthless (you do not need someone from Microsoft to anwser the phone, or the magical word *yes* on the "supported" column). A small community has formed around WTL, and people (with Nenad at the head of them) have been very responsive with queries exposed on the mailing list. "give it a try, and evaluate it yourself". Finally, WTL has (at least for me) an educational value. It illustrates some points that were not evident to me, as the compile-time binding, or the use of traits classes other that std::char_traits (yes I am still learning). The full source code is included. Executables are generally of smaller size. worthless?? I don't think so, but I respect your opinion. Kind regards, Ramon Casellas

Ramon, very well said, you illustrated very well the good points WTL :) Ramon Casellas wrote: Finally, WTL has (at least for me) an educational value.

All the points apply to me also :) Great, compact and speedy framework done by a cool guy :-D Definitely WTL 7 + ATL 7 + Future Visual Studio .Net SP1 = marriage on heaven Cheers, Joao Vaz
