Express lacks the GUI class libraries such as MFC.
and this is one of its best points. MFC is poorly designed legacy library that shouldn't be used for any new development. What else Express edition is lacking though is resources editor, which matters for those who want to visually edit dialog boxes etc. I suppose that there are modern GUI libraries for Windows that do not require resource files (maybe John Torjo's Win32 or SmartWin++ ) B. _______________________________________________ Boost-users mailing list Boost-users@lists.boost.org http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost-users
