Introduction

MWTSUI provides the developer with the ability to have the latest Office interface, with as few code changes as possible. This is a list of the controls that are included in this library.

The following controls have undergone extensive testing, and several cross platform bugs have been corrected. These controls are now considered production quality.

• MWMenu
• MWTooltips
• MWEdit
• MWCombo
• MWListBox
• MWButton
• MWImageList
• MWShadow
• MWComboEx

The following controls are incomplete:

• MWMenuBar
• MWToolbar
• MWDockingBar

These controls should imitate the behaviour of their Office 2003 counterparts, while remaining as true to native Win32 controls as possible. For example, the MWMenu control does not implement owner drawn menu items, but does otherwise emulate the native Menu control. The documentation for each control lists the differences between the native Win32 control and the MW control. This differences and other documentation can be located in the Win32 Specification.doc file included in the download.

Our controls are largely based upon the WINE project. The licensing terms for WINE are contained in the GNU Lesser General Public License available from that site.

To compile the DLL, you will need the August 2002 Platform SDK (or later).

This project is no longer being updated or supported.
