I'm in the car atm, I will find the example when I get home.

As far as winforms, I didn't mean write another .net only ui, that would be a waste as there is already a good one. I meant that it would be wise to implement a similar architecture to winforms applying modern c++ and boost idioms where possible.

I think you recognize the same thing I do, and that is that it is a huge waste to adopt a library such as mfc, qt, wx or gtk as they implement so much more than just gui components.

There's a SendMessage in my examples? If it has it is probably a
mistake, could you point out?

The lib is meant to be used as native for any platform it is in. So
.NET wouldn't quite fit I believe.
