## Overview

Eck is a Windows C++ framework spanning native and custom UI, graphics/text rendering, and system and data utilities. A typical user workflow is to build an application around a window and controls, then use framework services to render and handle data; the tree includes both conventional and Dui templates, but the README is empty and their source excerpts are not provided, so their detailed wiring is uncertain. The graph emphasizes identifiable runtime subsystems and explicit relationships in sampled code rather than implying a single mandatory pipeline.

Main entry points: [`eck/UiListController.h`](https://github.com/gremarkundeletabledc/winezctrlkit/blob/master/eck/UiListController.h) (List controller), [`eck/ShellMenuInfo.h`](https://github.com/gremarkundeletabledc/winezctrlkit/blob/master/eck/ShellMenuInfo.h) (Shell menu discovery), [`EckTemplate/Entry.cpp`](https://github.com/gremarkundeletabledc/winezctrlkit/blob/master/EckTemplate/Entry.cpp) (App entry), [`EckTemplate/CApp.cpp`](https://github.com/gremarkundeletabledc/winezctrlkit/blob/master/EckTemplate/CApp.cpp) (App setup)
