    The main in MFC is a "WinMainX" and is somehow "invisible" to the eye, it was wrapped by MFC code, What do you exactly need? Papa while (TRUE) Papa.WillLove ( Bebe ) ;

        Hi, For a normal Visual C++ program, we have a void main. But in creating a MFC single document interface, does anyone know which function is something similar to void main? Thanks for ur help

        Argh... the internet connection failed just when I posted the first answer... :mad: well... X| lets do it again... You can do it in three ways: -> if you don't need to do anything to the GUI you can use the InitInstance function in the main class. -> if you need to interact with the main frame (the SDI document view container) you can do it in the precreatewindow function in the mainframe class. -> if you need to interact with the view you can do it in the precreatewindow of the view class. hope this helps...

          Sounds like all you want to have is your app start once the linking processs has completed in the DevStudio. Correct? If so, then use the short cut Ctrl+F5 (unless it is mapped somewhere else). This compiles/links and then starts the app. Larry J. Siddens

                Start it within the IDE using Ctrl+F5. That'll compile and link (if necessary), and then run.
