This might be related to what you want:

I think he's looking for an OOP approach, that code is basically C translated to D.

There are some OOP libraries he can use, like DGUI or DFL. And there are some OOP wrappers for WinAPI somewhere (probably on dsource). Maybe http://pr.stewartsplace.org.uk/d/sdwf/ or http://www.dsource.org/projects/minwin. I think these two might be slightly outdated by now though.

Oh I thought that tutorial was about MFC/ATL, but it seems to use the regular C API. I might look into this to add it to the DWinProgramming project if it's worthwhile.

I think it is worth a closer look.  Especially Bartosz Milewski ActiveObject class. https://www.relisoft.com/win32/active.html


OT @Andrej
The MONO folks are using Cairo to rebuild MS NET System.Drawing and System.Drawing2D. I wonder if this could be an approach for DGUI.
I quess my question is : using CAIRO or GDI+  as Graphic engine for DGUI.
TIA

Does DGUI intend to become cross-platform at any time? If not, then you could pick whichever system you're used to the most. You wouldn't be limited to just GDI+ if that's what DGUI will use, all you need for Cairo is a backbuffer to draw to which you can later blit to some widget area of DGUI.
