New Release of WTL (Windows Template Library)
I've been able to start on a new project with a clean slate. For the portion residing on Microsoft
Windows, I'm going to give the latest version (v8.1, build 9127) of the WTL (Windows Template Library) for
crafting the GUI side of things. The latest version can be downloaded from
SourceForge,
which looks to have a release date of May 7, 2009.
The release notes don't indicate anything for running with the Visual Studio 2008 IDE. A blog entry at
Code Gem called
WTL Wizard for Visual Studio 2008 indicates that by changing a few references to registry entries in the
Visual Studio 2005 script, one can get the new WTL Wizard to install in the 2008 IDE. He supplies
downloadable source code in the blog entry. Another location for a patch file is located in the
Yahoo Forums.
WTL has in the past been underdocumented. Besides some websites linked from the wtl.sourceforge.net
web site, the WTL group on Yahoo has had a
WTL Developer's Guide posted in Doc and PDF forms.
