I'd really love a series about learning MFC. The whole site is mainly about it and I found no tutors teaching MFC basics (I know I can draw a dialog, double click something and write the proper question, but what about DDE (I've read something somewhen but maybe it's obsolete now) and what is what in the code generated? I know that CListView.AddItem stand for ListView_AddItem macro, but that's not enough... there are also newbies around. Help us!

Should you not have any joy here, check out MSDN's tutorials. Okay, their not great, but they do give you enough to get started. http://msdn.microsoft.com [^]

Like there weren't any tutorials (in MSDN) on shell and all the other stuff here :wtf:. Okay, but it's your choice and youngsters choose community that behaves most well to them (and I don't say CP doesn't, just that "go and see MDSN" is something I couldn't surely have figured out myself)...

Stick with CP mate, it's the best coders site there is. I was merly trying to be helpful whilst you wait and see if MFC tutorials appear, and you get your experience level up.

You ought to purchase "Programming Windows With MFC" by Jeff Prosise (Microsoft Press) best money I ever spent. -Ken Mazaika

Please ask a more detailed question. What exactly would you like to know? Then perhaps several people will divide the work between themselves and write several tutorials. Be specific :)

I want to know what is the difference between coding a MFC dialog app and a MFC MDI or something. I want to know what exactly the gray code means so I will never get lost. I want to know the basic and, if there is some, advanced architecture... Thanks
I'm with kmaz. "Programming Windows with MFC" by Jeff Prosise has been very helpful for me. I've just started out with the MFC stuff myself and have learned everything so far from that book, CodeProject and www.codeguru.com. It may take some digging and playing around, but the answer always within those resources somewhere. Trolling the messageboard is quite useful as well, although I wish the search capabilities were a little better. Good Luck! PS. MSDN good BW {insert witty/thought-provoking saying here}

I think you first need to obtain basic Windows programming knowledge. MFC is a relatively think wrapper around Windows API. Check the books from Petzold and Prosise, and then you'll have primary understanding of MFC. Don't expect to obtain solid knowledge only from free Web-based articles. Invest in a few good books, and it will pay off. Vagif Abilov MCP (Visual C++) Oslo, Norway If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them. Jack Handey, Deep Thoughts

I started with the Scribble tutorial from MSDN. Then with some Teach yourself in XXX days/hours. Then I discovered CP and nothing else was needed. Best regards, Alexandru Savescu
