Win32++ is a C++ library used to build windows applications. Win32++ is a free alternative to MFC. It has the added advantage of being able to run on a wide range of free compilers, including Visual Studio Community, Clang, and the MinGW compiler provided with CodeBlocks and Dev-C++.

Win32++ provides a thin layer over the Windows API and is similar to MFC. There are several differences to MFC however. Win32++ uses very few macros, and doesn't use macros for message maps. All the code for Win32++ is provided in a set of header files. There is no need for any additional DLLs or libraries apart from those DLLs that are part of the window operating system. Win32++ has view windows but doesn't impose a Doc/View architecture on users. Users are free to employ a Doc/View architecture if they choose.
