C++ application framework for Windows
Dear All,
I have heard the support of MFC will be stopped by Microsoft in the near future, Microsoft will focus a lot on the .Net development platform.
So I wanna know whether there is other pure un-managed C++ application framework for the windows application development.
Thanks for any enlightment!

Although I do know that they are not dropping MFC in the near future...
Qt ( http://www.trolltech.com/)
wxWidgets ( http://www.wxwidgets.org/)

The .NET framework is superior to the MFC in many ways, it even comes with a consistent OOP language specially designed for use with the .NET framework. If you are developing Windows dependent software anyway, why not turn your back to the MFC and jump on the .NET shuttle? Using Qt would be an option if you strive for platform independency, but I don't have that impression.
But hey, your decision. You might want to check out GTK+ for Windows too: http://mmmaybe.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html

Appreciate matthias!
The GTK+ screen shot is really impressive. :-)
For business, if my customer only considers windows, I think MFC should be my favorite one. .Net is really great, and I hope MONO could give me a robust platform for C++/CLI and the new features of Whidbey. That will be really wonderful ; we can use C++ to enjoy .Net framework very easily.
