Introduction

StdExt is a GUI-less library. StdExt means STL (Standard Template Library) extensions. Its wiki homepage is http://cpp.winxgui.com/. It extends STL and provides a set of classes for diagnosis, memory management, unit tests, file io, etc. StdExt is self systematic. It depends nothing else, and you can use it freely.

StdExt Library is a part of WinxGui, as the underlying library. WinxGui (abbreviated to WINX) focus the goal: MOST SIMPLE BUT EFFECTIVE. It is a C++ template GUI library that easy to use, and compatible to WTL. For more information, refer to http://www.winxgui.com/.
