Question regarding MFC
-
Hi Guys! Nowadays i am appearing for interviews with expertise in COM+/DCOM/Web-services. I have done little work in MFC may be close to 8 months for a maintenance project. During interviews interviewers are more focused in MFC rather than my core expertise,now i am planning to learn MFC as well... I have been asked about many macros in the interviews.. I have following question: 1)Do i need learn about all or most of the important classes..? 2)Do i need to know all the Macros..? 3)how about win32..? what else i should learn in this... what you guys would advise me in this ??? i bought a MFC book "MFC Programming from the ground up" Please help and Thanks in advance.

The scope of this question is quite wide and the answer would be "Yes" and a "No". Basically the interviewers try to understand your in depth knowledge about MFC. A few classes like CObject,CArchive(helps in Serialization), CCmdTarget (foundation class for message map architecture), CWinThread etc would help. The questions put in front of you might depend on the project requirement.

Expected is "yes". But it seems hard to gather the knowledge on everything. BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP etc should be known.

Win32 is the base for MFC as it is built on top of it. Read Windows Internals to understand how things work. Many people would also suggest to have a little or more knowledge of everything in MFC. But the crux is "The more you code, the better you become in terms of knowledge, understanding and preparation"

I have attended a lot of interviews for VC++ and MFC Requirements. it depends from person to person. You certainly need to know the basics of MFC, and win32. You would not have used all the macros that is available in MFC. So what you know can be explained to them really well so that they can get convinced that you have reall y worked on them or have knowledge on it... You can get a job by learning a lot of things but what really matters is the practical experience. I wish you all the best for your interviews.
