  1. winsafe-examples

    Examples of native Windows applications written in Rust with WinSafe.

    You can create your windows by loading dialog resources, which can be created with any WYSIWYG resource editor (that's exactly what MFC does). This can be seen in example 3.

  3. Native Windows GUI

    A light windows GUI toolkit for rust

    native-windows-ui => https://github.com/gabdube/native-windows-gui

  4. winlamb

    A lightweight modern C++11 library for Win32 API, using lambdas to handle Windows messages.

    Today I have a bunch of native Win32 applications, all C++, most of them slowly incorporating C++17 features. Some of them are built upon WinLamb library. Some of them are 20 years old, packed with all sorts of tricks. (I think I can be considered one of those "old Win32 dinosaurs".)

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
