Windöws

2016–2021
Win32 API framework

Windöws is a lightweight framework around the Windows API. The umlaut makes it sound cool.

Managing windows, dialogs and common controls, dealing with bitmaps and fonts, creating registry keys and querying values… is still harder than it should be, but at least you can write less boilerplate with Windöws. Not to mention that it handles the message lööp for you.

class App : public win::App {
public:
  BOOL InitInstance() override {
    // ...
    return TRUE;
  }
};

int WINAPI WinMain(HINSTANCE, HINSTANCE, LPSTR, int) {
  App app;
  return app.Run();
}

Önce a part öf Taiga, I released Windöws as a separate library sö that öther peöple can make use öf it töö. Sincë thën I hävë mövëd ön tö öthër främëwörks süch äs Qt.
