last time I developed a GUI application for windows (in 1998),
I was using C++ and Win32.

We tried MFC and it just did not do it.
I remember sick solutions for sick problems in MFC, like sending messages to be called back again later.

I simply wrote some C++ wrappers for win32 calls.
And I joined these wrappers into base class and member class relationships.
The resulting code was very clear, short and maintainable.
It contained an activex control container (written in C++) -- not using ATL.

I'm amazed that there are still C++ programmers, which don't know about how to wrap a fallible Win32 resource into a C++ class and how to chain such classes into base and member class relationships.

I'm amazed that there still seem to be C++ programmers,
which don't know how to abort the construction of an object.

aaaaa .... what do you use instead for development of a C++ windows GUI 
program?
