basic MFC app
-
I`m trying to build a barebones MFC app. I`m used to C# Forms, but I`m having a tough time in MFC though. I`m creating a new MFC app in the New Project dialog and in the Wizard I pick Dialog based app as app type. However after creation I can`t open the resource (in the resource view) to fill it with controls.

I have not used MFC for years, and I would not recommend it for any new projects. As to the problem, it is difficult to guess what the issue is without more details.
it`s a totally fresh project, no edits after pressing the `Finish` button in the create app wizard/dialog. I`m expecting to be able to add new controls from ToolBox but obviously something is missing...

Define "can`t open the resource". If you open the resource View then what do you see in it?

I don`t see the resource. I probably just need a mere WinMain.

I already told you where to find it, or you can just use the View menu item to open the Resource View.
Sorry my wording is wrong, I can`t see the designer.

In have explained twice already, open the resource view, either from the View menu, or use Ctrl+Shift+E.
I got it, but only after you closing and opening the project again. Sorry for making ripples over nothing.

The recommended MFC way is to create a control member variable (of the type CStatic or any derived from CStatic class) for this picture control. Then you will be able use all the methods of this class.

I want to use a plain (basic) Win32 approach with an exposed WinMain. It`s not a rich Win App, I only need a button or two, a textbox and a listbox (besides the picture box)

I made my mind. MFC is too much of a hassle. It crossed my mind to make a new thread, but I thought it would be better to keep rolling with this one.
