I personally only know about MFC as an API that will allow you to develope programs with GUI interfaces using native C++ (as opposed to .NET or C#). However I have heard it mentioned more than once about MFC being somewhat "unfavored", for lack of better word, by programmers anymore.
Besides (.NET Window forms, and C#) if you wanted to create a windows program using native C++ with an interface such as (i.e. MFC edit and combo boxes and buttons and scroll bars..ect), is there any other API's available (without having to code the wheel again and code everything that MFC currently does for you)? What is everyone else using to create C++ programs without using MFC to generate the GUI's? I have heard of wrappers to MFC, but no favorable words about them...What if you wanted to create a customized GUI (customized as in any commercial program that has their own look, colors..ect)?
Thanks in advance,
