I am looking for some kind of library, either open source or bought in, that provides advanced GUI components, helper functions & classes etc.
It needs to be something that integrates relatively easily into Visual Studio, and should be based around C++ and Windows.
Cross platform isn't needed, and can somtimes make things a little more complex and restricted than single platform, but it is still acceptable.
It also needs to be up-to-date and active. There appears to be a number of 'retired' libraries that offer little or no support, so these would not be suitable, as I'm going to need help every now and then! It also needs good documentation.
I know about wxWidgets but I'm wondering what other alternatives there are?
At first glance, wxWidgets doesn't strike me as what I want/need, especially in the GUI area where the visual components seem striking similar to the stock components. I want more custimization!
Is there much out there that meets these requirements?
