Wmencodersdk
The Windows Media Encoder development kit allows you to record images from an image capturing device or desktop, and supports file format conversion.
------------
It is a set of easy-to-use and powerful software that provides the user's own image recording function. It can be recorded from an image capturing device or desktop screen, and also provides the file format conversion function. The main features are easy to use, high-quality encoding, and enhanced procedural and management. features include: new user interfaces and guides, making it easier to set and create videos, this function is used for on-site network playback or on-demand playback, and supports multiple sources. You can immediately switch the source, and monitor the data during encoding, such as the image size and data traffic. The new encoding capability supports de-interlacing, inverse telecine, and screen capture, providing better output quality, from 320*240 * 60fps to 640*480 * 30fps, you can capture up to 30 GB of files, including winnov, ATI, Hauppauge, and USB video cameras. The Windows Media Encoder SDK provides fully automated coding control for website developers, which can be controlled remotely from the network (LAN) or through APIS or ASP.

MS chart
You can draw professional bar charts, graphs, and other professional statistical figures in the program.
Included in the installation package of VB or office.

ATL
A framework used to develop com. With it, writing COM is much easier. In addition to com support, it also provides cimage (GDI + packaging class, which is very useful), cregkey (registry support), catlregexp (Regular Expression), and so on.
Built-in VC or included in Windows SDK

GDI + SDK
GDI + is a new graphic programming interface of Microsoft. It is simple and easy to use. Supports multiple image formats, without worrying about decoding JPG, GIF, and other formats.

MFC
A very old (older than vc6) and excellent program framework is an encapsulation of the Windows API source code. Many excellent software is written using it.
Included in Visual Studio

Xtreme toolkitpro/bcgcontrolbar professional
An excellent MFC extension library for interface development. It provides controls similar to the appearance of Ms products such as office and Visual Studio.
Xtreme has a free cjlibrary http://www.codejock.com/
BCG in vs2008 is part of MFC, http://www.bcgsoft.com/

MS (XML)/tinyxml
The development kit used to parse XML files.
Ms xml is powerful and has perfect support for Chinese.
Small tinyxml with source code.
(Other XML Resolvers are not very good. Although IBM's xml4c function is strong, its DLL size is as large as 12 Mb, and xerces C ++ cannot support Chinese characters, libxml needs to write the conversion function itself to support Chinese characters)
