Win32 OOP version of the WinAPI for creating Windows Forms. I developed this tool for building more lightweight UI programs for Windows with no need of any third party frameworks.

⚠ This project is still in development and may lack some controls or functionalities.

Since the Win32 API is a very complex functional tool Win32GUI handles some aspects of it by itself like the WNDCLASS registration. In here every Thread of the program has associated a local WNDCLASS from which derivates all of the possible windows forms created by the system.

Here we create a WindowsForm of 800x600 and assign a textview to it. Text controls will change size automatically if not specified previously.

#include "Win32/Manager.h"

int main() {
    // Create hidden window
    Window window("Hello world", 800, 600);
    // Create label
    TextView lbl(&window, "This is an autosize label"); 
    // Show Window
    window.show(); 

    // Join the WindProc & lock thread
    window.join();
}

This example is very similar to the previous one but in here we join from the second window instead of the first one and create another window at 500:300.

#include "Win32/Manager.h"

int main() {
    Window window("Hello world", 800, 600);
    TextView lbl(&window, "This is an autosize label");
    window.show();

    Window window1("Another Window");
    window1.setLocation(500, 300);
    window1.show();

    // It does not matter from
    // where we join from.
    window1.join();
}
