Hello! I am yet learning MFC, but I intened to learn the ATL and WTL... What I want to ask is that what the WTL really is, what are the benifits of it over MFC. Also, please guid me about the ATL as well... Polite Programmer
More Object Oriented then C#

Thanx a lot... You guided me well... However, Just few more questions... What are the benifits of using WTL over MFC?(if any...) Moreover, I am learning MFC... Any tips to minize the learning curve will be helpfull, Also, when it is a good time to learn ATL? Lastly, How you see the future of MFC/ATL/VC++ in the world of .NET (especially, please consider the 'interpreted' nature of .NET...) Moreover, if Microsoft is not maintaining WTL, then who is?

First of all, I know very little about ATL, so some of my responses are tentative at best. What are the benifits of using WTL over MFC? It is cleaner, it does not suffer from some design defects affecting MFC (most notably in multithreading issues) and does not impose a complete framework on you (that meaning, you can add just a bit of WTL to an otherwise perfectly regular Win32. MFC, OTOH, forces you to write the whole app according to the framework it provides.) On the cons side, WTL does not provide you with wizards (I think) and it is somewhat harder to learn, as the tecnhiques it relies on are more advanced. Also, when it is a good time to learn ATL? I couldn't say. Probably, knowing some UI stuff (plain Win32 or MFC) before delving into WTL is good. Lastly, How you see the future of MFC/ATL/VC++ in the world of .NET (especially, please consider the 'interpreted' nature of .NET...) I think WTL just does not apply to .NET UI. Moreover, if Microsoft is not maintaining WTL, then who is? http://sourceforge.net/projects/wtl/[^] Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo Want a Boost forum in Code Project?

MFC is not only a set of classes, it is an entiere framework. if you plan to program a console based program, you won't use MFC... more, STL (standard template library) provides a collection of containers and algorythms that permit to manipulate every types (it is the purpose of the templates).
