Q:

A simple C++ framework for Win32 Windows Applications?

Is there a simple/small framework (Other than .NET) which allows you to create windowed applications with C++ under Win32. Just like a little DLL I can include with my app. 
It should have basic functions like creating a window , buttons , text edits and handling them.

A:

WTL is a set of lightweight templates that make writing Win32 windowing code quite easy (to the extend C++/Win32 can be easy).

A:

I would recommand Qt. It's an intuitive and user friendly framework. In addition it is cross platform if one day you want to deploy your app anywhere else.
Qt can be used through Visual Studio or through the QtCreator IDE installed with the framework (as well as QtDesigner [GUI editor]).

A:

Take a look at Win32++
