Hey man, how did you gain access to my MFC applications? :-D (BTW: there are many beautyful applications written using MFC) :)

You might like this[^]. Also, search the code project for CPictureEx class for displaying simple animated .gif. If you have time to get into "OwnerDraw" options, then you can _really_ make anything look like whatever you want, even with MFC

I know there are many beautyful applications written using MFC,but I can't make it :sigh:

Use Adobe Photoshop to make custom defined bitmaps of whatever design you want and paste it onto the dialogs during initialization + OnPaint handlers. Simple! There are numerous code samples available on this site.

Making a good GUI is not that difficult as the way you say. there are lots of applications available over the net. and you just need some imagination of how the screen should look like.. :-)

If you're using VS 2008, you can download the MFC Feature Pack[^], which introduces a lot of new classes for UI development. You may have a look at the reference[^] page too.

You beat me to it. 5. :) Klingon programmers don't care about beautification of the UI, but that's a different thing. :)

That's right and, moreover, Klingon programmers don't defend (nor use) MFC. I lost 100 Klingon points indeed... :(( :-D
