Windows Template Library (WTL)

(((Windows Template Library (WTL) is a C++ library for developing Windows applications and UI components. It extends ATL (Active Template Library) and provides a set of classes for controls, dialogs, frame windows, GDI objects, and more.
)))

Unfortunately, this wonderful extension to ATL is not officially supported by Microsoft and there's a number of broken links on many of the pages I have found while looking for more information.  This page is a collection of links to WTL resources that were *not* broken last time I checked.

WTL links seem to have a habit of becoming broken...  I have made a local copy of these here:{BR}{BR}

The CodeProject's WTL collection is extensive so I've provided some direct links to my favorites here:
