WTL
-
Hello, I have now started to look at WTL and like it a lot. Is it really worth while to go into WTL or should I rather stick to MFC? What is the future of WTL? Thanks, Richard
Check further down in the lounge, as this subject has been hashed over at least twice. Various MS people have stated that WTL will continue as a unsupported product as part of the SDK. I would use it for in-house projects and projects that are already in ATL.

Stuart I agree with you on that one. I would include 'unsupported' software in any commercial product, whilst I would definitely use it on in-house projects. I trully would like to see Microsoft support WTL in maybe subsequent releases of VS.NET. My 2 pennies worth Norm

Well Nenad has said that the next version of WTL will support .NET, so at least we know it won't go away in the near future. As for using "unsupported" software in products, how many people are using an "unsupported" Linux that they just downloaded from RedHat or any of the other free or GPLed software available for download. I see WTL as something that fits into this type of category. Commercial systems are all around that use free code from places. Just because MS does not official support it, I dont think it should be not used. Steve Maier, MCSD

The 'unsupported' nature of WTL really is only an official tag. Nenad is constantly updating the library and as long as he is free to continue his work I'm sure WTL will continue to grow and evolve. cheers, Chris Maunder

... which may be a very shot time, if his boss tells him to stop playing around with the unprofitable pet projects.
Why would M$ stop work on a project that has a lot of popular support ? Another question - if M$ drops support for MFC, will that make it useless overnight ?
