You don’t mention what framework you’re using (if any)?

I am also new to these abbreviation, but the WordWeb free dictionary helps me, ROTFL - Rolling on the floor laughing. I guess, he meant MFC is also a framework.

MFC actually *is* a framework. :)

Thanks for your Guidance. Up to now I am considering MFC as a Microsoft Foundation Classes. I don’t know It is a “Framework”

You're just looking at the abbreviation. You need to read up a little bit to understand that MFC is more than a bunch of classes. For example, you don't write a main() function for a program that you write in MFC, do you? So, does that mean there is no main function? You get to build a doc/view app with menus, windows, print previewing capability, etc., just with mouse clicks! Can you do it just with a few classes alone? The framework does everything for you behind the scenes. :) If that interests you, I'd recommend a few books - Programming Windows with MFC, MFC Internals. Also, see MFC in Wikipedia[^] Rajesh

Didn't ever read MFC documentation? It is full of sentences such as "The framework will call...". Also many MFC global functions, like AfxGetApp, have the Afx (i.e. Application Framework EXtension) prefix. :)
