WTL 7.1 supports building GUI ATL applications uisng Visual Studio 6, 2002
and 2003 as well as eVC3.0 and eVC 4.0 targeting Win32 (Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows 2003) and Windows CE 3.0 and up including Smartphone
2002 and 2003. It supplies app wizards for all 5 dev environments listed
above.

WTL now fully supports building projects for the Windows CE platforms. This
initial support for Windows CE was implemented primarily for eMbedded Visual
C++ 4.0 with Pocket PC 2003 and SmartPhone 2003 SDKs. However, it can be
used with other versions and configurations. For instance, Standard SDK 4.1
is supported as well. The WTL AppWizard works with both EVC++ 4.0 and 3.0,
but it might not generate the code that is optimal for the platforms
supported by EVC++ 3.0. Considerable effort was made to provide the best
Windows CE support, however, there might be some limitations because
different platforms provide different programming support.



The support for Windows CE was not designed to port projects for the desktop
version of Windows as-is to the Windows CE platforms, but to allow use of
the same library, WTL, for both desktop Windows and Windows CE. Applications
for Windows CE are often designed in a different way, and they use different
platform services. WTL depends on the version of ATL provided with each
Windows CE platform, and supports controls and services that are appropriate
and supported for each Windows CE platform.
