This final release of the Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack extends the VC++ Libraries shipped with Visual Studio 2008 and is fully covered under Microsoft's standard support policies.

The VC++ 2008 MFC libraries have been extended to support creation of applications that have:

Office Ribbon style interface

Office 2007, Office 2003 and Office XP look and feel

Modern Visual Studio-style docking toolbars and panes

Fully customizable toolbars and menus

A rich set of advanced GUI controls

Advanced MDI tabs and groups

And much more!

This feature pack also includes an implementation of TR1. Portions of TR1 are scheduled for adoption in the upcoming C++0x standard as the first major addition to the ISO 2003 standard C++ library. Our implementation includes a number of important features such as:

Smart pointers

Regular expression parsing

New containers (tuple, array, unordered set, etc)

Sophisticated random number generators

Polymorphic function wrappers

Type traits

And more!

Note: This feature pack does not include C99 compatibility or support for special math functions.
