How can I use more recent win32-libraries with D and is there a way to use the GDI+  ?

More recent than what?

GDI+ is C++-based.  It ought to be possible to write D bindings - I don't know if anybody's working with it.

Both of us should've noticed the thread "GdiPlus" from nearly a week ago....

Hopefully Polis'll share the code with the rest of us....

No I didn't notice it, but I've made new import-libraries of the current Win32-DLLs by using the .exp-files of LCC and making a UNIX-Script to change for example

_MessageBoxW@16
to

_MessageBoxW@16 = MessageBoxW

Now it works and also with the gdiplus.dll, although I cannot use it without ported headers

By the way, there's a project underway to translate the Windows API headers into D:
