GeezerVison is showing sourceforge.net — Win32++

Win32++ is a C++ library designed to simplify the development of Windows API-based applications. It provides a modern C++ interface while staying lightweight and easy to use.

It is the perfect choice for developers who want to build small, fast, native Windows desktop apps without the bloat of modern UI frameworks (like .NET or Electron). Your finished app compiles down into a single, small executable file.

Supports Task Dialogs available on Windows Vista and later operating systems.
Supports the Ribbon Framework available on Windows 7 and later operating systems.
