I hate MFC!!!
-
It took me one day to develop the "logic" with STL, and now I'm working on damn UI for almost a week. Why there is no good RAD tool for C++? No wonder there are so many VB users. Die, MFC, die!!! :mad: :mad: :mad: :beer:

There is a great RAD tool sitting right between your shoulders - use it. Or better yet try developing GUI's using the API. Take the time to learn MFC and you can throw things up pretty fast. BTW if the logic can bet developed in STL the program can't be very complicated nor should the API. Richard I must have liberty Withal, as large a charter as the wind, To blow on whom I please.

Yeah, MFC sucks. It'll kick you right in the nuts if you take your eyes off it for a second. It'll stab you in the back if you turn away. But it must have some advantage, 'cause lots&lots&lots&lots&lots&lots&lots&lots&lots of people use it, so who are you to argue? :rolleyes:

Obviously, you did not learn the most important thing: MFC Lesson 1: There are two ways to do things: The MFC one, and the wrong one. ;) Nemanja Trifunovic wrote: The more I know it, the more I hate it. Same here. I use MFC only for "quick tools", where I don't have to fight the UI stuff.

>Why there is no good RAD tool for C++? For C++ or MFC? ?confused? I like MFC for Windows apps. Its a lightweight wrapper around a messy API. MFC for COM and COM's apostles is something I avoid like the plague, that's what ATL is for. I have serious trouble digesting the fact that you got 'STLs' logic in one day. Writing custom containers and iterators can be tough work, but having it all plug together is nice.

What exactly is the problem? MFC has CASE tools (well, kind of) that let you generate dialogs, menus, etc pretty quickly. Granted, the tools are not real CASE tools and the GUIs they create a not flashy, but they get the job done.

.NET isn't much better, in my opinion. That's why I use my own framework built on top of MFC so I only went through the pain once. Now I'm porting the whole thing over to .NET, because it's so lame also! (see my CP articles on the Application Automation Layer). Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

I've got a feeling this kind of thing is coming to Visual C++ in the next edition out this year as C# and VB.NET have it, and we have all being shouting about it.
I've worked with C# and VS.NET 2002 and found out that, while much better than MFC + VC 6. it still requires too much messing with simple, tedious things (like manually adding event handlers). Besides, .NET based desktop applications are not (yet) an option IMHO. :beer:

I still want some of that smoke though. ;P -- Eventhough the forrest is full of trees, there's still no tree between the trees.
