Tutorials

• MFC Dialog-Based Applications
• The Registry
• I wrote a small "tutorial" about using C and C++ Pointers, but it is quite incomplete. Something that is complete is Ted Jensen's Pointer Tutorial.

Sample MFC Code

• Very simple samples of MFC Controls
  • CListCtrl
  • CProgressCtrl
• File I/O
• CFile
• CStdioFile
• MFC and Windows can be confusing and frustrating. For many programmers the problem of reading text into an edit control seems to be more work than it really can be. Using MFC and ClassWizard conveniences it can be quite easy. Here is a sample Edit Control Read.
• SetTimer
• FormatMessage
