Microsoft has a Windows Template Library, WTL, for Windows specifically, which is template-based but which they barely support for their VC++ users. There are other cross-platform frameworks which seek to encapsulate GUI/GDI in classes but few of them are template-based as far as I know. I think you have a big job attempting to create a cross-platform C++ GUI/GDI framework considering the different operating systems which Boost supports and therefore the different GUI/GDI elements on those systems. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
