Recommended reading on MFC?

I want to learn how to make MFC programs. I was hoping someone would refer me to some great books on the subject. I am a beginner at MFC, so something understandable would be a big plus. Thanks:cool:
Programming Windows with MFC Second Edition by Jeff Prosise. Its huge, around 1300 pages, but very easy to understand and definitely worth it Matt Newman "Two things have come out of Berkley, Unix and Acid, we do not belive this to be a coincidence"
Linux sucks twice as fast and 10 times more reliably, and since you have the source, it's your fault. -Ca1v1n Post best viewed with lynx -

Learn Charles Petzold "Windows Programing" by heart. Next trawl thru the MFC samples. Look at other peoples code. The most difficult aspect to MFC is getting this Window from another window. Example: Application MainFrame Document View Toolbar DlgBar DockingDialogBar Combo Some other Control (SOC) Now take an example where you want to communicate to from SOC to any other element in the Windows app? I will demonstrate this technique in an article I'm preparing, just for a note I ask the same question to Jeff Prosise at a Windows Development Conference an he could'nt give me the actual answer. It's quite easy a simple map store at app level so you can get at any window with little indirection.
