I have finally sucked up enough pain to continue converting the GUI over to wxWidgets. This has been an on-going distraction for a couple of years. Today I got it to build!
This opens the door for cross platform and disentangling myself from WinForms. (They were much better than MFC but the current state of C++/CLI makes WinForms a really bad future bet. But that Rant is for another time and place.
Suffice to say that I have a scratch GUI building in Visual C++ over wxWidgets 2.9.3 using wxFormBuilder as the GUI editor.
I finally feel like I can make progress without digging myself into a deeper hole (WinForms...) now I'm digging upward.
It will take a huge amount of time and energy to convert all the winforms code back to clean C++ but having decided on a GUI toolkit... its now possible. (Sorry QT it was never meant to be)
Progress...
