More WTL resources

Using the Windows Template Library articles by R. Mack

• Part 1: Getting Started
• Part 2: Windowing

After a promising start which builds from an empty WinMain(), it peters out after a couple of examples. Still, it's worth reading to see how simple it is to start pulling in WTL bits.


WTL Makes UI Programming a Joy articles (Zip files with a Word doc and zipped source) by Chris Sells, Dharma Shukla, and Nenad Stefanovic

• Part 1: The Basics
• Part 2: The Bells and Whistles

Stefanovic is the creator of WTL, and while dated, these articles are worth reading to get a little deeper into WTL.


A page of WTL links in the Philippines which includes Eamon Tuathail's humbling WTL Developer's Guide in PDF: highly recommended.


Finally, a WTL tip: if you're like me, you build with Warning Level set to Level 4 (/W4) and with Treat Warnings As Errors set to Yes (/WX). To get rid of those C4996 warnings, define _SECURE_ATL.
