    Just curious, how many people here still develop apps in Win32 with C/C++? Not WinForm or even MFC, I mean good old fashion WIN32 API with C/C++. Anyone?

      For *real* old fashioned, you should have said 'just C'. Either way, looks like you found the only guy. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

        Sometimes I feel like I am, but then I realize it's just ATL/WTL. :)

                Now I understand why you're frustrated all the time... I wrote a whole window framework in Win32, to bridge to Python. It was fun, but I wouldn't want to do it again. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++ Metal Musings - Rex and my new metal blog

                            Not entire apps, but Many snippets I write use raw Win32. It feels more straightforward than all the libraries out there.

                                  Our current project[^] is written entirely in C++ as using a .NET language would have been too limiting (we have a single binary that targets all supported platforms; that simply wouldn't be possible in C# because of framework versioning restrictions). For a project of this size (approx 70,000 lines now, not including comments) using Win32 raw is just not productive, particularly as it makes heavy use of multithreading (there are two thread pools), UI and ActiveX. ATL 7.1 and WTL 7.5 provide everything we need so we don't need to incurr the overhead or architectural assumptions of MFC.

It didn't work.

                                        Yes, for small utility programs that run on Windows CE. Either they have no UI or the UI support in ATL is overkill - if you only have one window displaying static text, the Win32 EXE AppWizard's auto-generated 'Hello World' app is enough, likewise if you just have a single dialog that just needs to display a progress bar. Stability. What an interesting concept. -- Chris Maunder

                                          Not sure I really count, but yes. Mostly because I rarely need more. As soon as I have established a window, the rest is all OpenGL and my code anyhow. I will occasionally use a routine for more, but very rarely. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau. Talk about things of tomorrow and the mice in the ceiling laugh.
