if i remember right, fltk is not using native win32 controls, but 
drawing its own controls in a gdc. I don't like it, because the 
application should behave like a real win32 app.

wxwindows is cool, but classes are similar to mfc. So if you don't need 
platform independency, mfc would be faster.

Its faster to use mfc then to hack win32-api. Or are there .NET 
bindings for c++ and visual studio6 ? Since .NET will replace win32 in 
the future, and i think it bids more intuitive object orientation than 
mfc.
