User Reviews

  • WTL is fun to code with in Windows
  • good framework for win32, but lack design tool like macOS IB
  • Problems with Windows 10: Visual Studio 2015 desktop express / atlbase.h / atls.lib or atlsd.lib VS2015 does not have 'ATL' projects. I had hoped to use the WTL header files to build old projects under windows 10 desktop. I can get the header files from Win71. DDK but not the lib files. The lib files ought to be available for developers!
