What is going on with the MFC Feature Pack?
-
Thereafter a Microsoft has released the MFC Feature Pack in 2008, seems like they left it alone. No books, no detailed publication on that, just abridged MSDN :( It makes the use of it a quite difficult, although a lots of applications could benefit from it. There still a lots of companies who use an MFC where the speed, light weight and high level of customization required. .NET is NOT always a best solution. Would be good to have some feedback on this from the Microsoft, but it's not likely they read this forum. So it would be good here, on CodeProject, to consolidate everything related to MFC Feature Pack somewhere under MFC in separate folder. It would be just straight place where C++ programmers interested in modern looking GUI can read, contribute or ask the related questions.

You should perhaps put this in the Bugs and Suggestions forum.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You can find a list of changes to ATL/MFC on the Visual C++ Team blog[^].

Codeproject already has a C/C++/MFC forum[^]. Best Wishes, -David Delaune

I'm pretty sure Microsoft don't read the CP Bugs'n'sugs forum. Heck, they don't read their own bugs'n'sugs forum...

They have one?
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

It's called MSDN... :sigh:

Why would this be better in the codeproject bugs/suggestion forum? :confused: I am fairly certain Chris doesn't want to hear anything regarding the MFC feature pack.

This is a suggestion for CP, that's why.
