General question about Everything's code

Post by vdeuser379 »

Hi there,

New C++ dev starting out here. I have always seen lovely win32 C++ apps that have GUI which feels very native to Windows, and are affected by windows themes / msstyles.

I always assumed they just used Windows Forms, however after a lot of searching I found Windows Forms is mainly used with C#? And its not ideal for C++? I couldn't even find a template for it in VS 2019 by default.

So i thought I'd ask the best example app I know all too well, that I know is written in C++, which GUI library / framework does voidTools Everything use to create its GUI?

Thanks in advance and sorry if i posted to the wrong section.

Everything is written in C.

Everything doesn't use any GUI library or framework.
Everything uses the WINAPI calls RegisterClass and CreateWindow to create windows and controls.
It's a pain to develop, but I get full control.

Good luck!
