Thread: A simple question...be done with it by answering :P

/* I got considerable c++ coding knowledge now (hope its not arrogant to say this)
Been coding console applications since 3 years at college and i usually go about lending everyone a hand when they got bugs or errors in their codes.

*/ ignore


/*Still its a college and no IT firm so i know nothing about MFC or Win32 API.*/ ignore

I now want to add some GUI to some of my old programmes.Like pop in a window with browse tabs.Perhaps the window could also display the list of the movies i have on c drive (which is something that my code does now but in console)

whats the best way to learn MFC...or should i be learning win32 API....

P.S: I only wanna code in c++ and not c

any nice tutorials for mfc with VS 2005...most of them out there are VS 6.XX MFC tutorials

Loads of thanks...help an aspiring coder out :P

I personally find MFC easier to work with - but I haven't done much work in either Win32 or MFC.

With MFC, what you would do is:
Create a dialog resource.
Right-click -> Add class. Name class and finish the wizard.
In your code, include "name of your dialog class.h".
Then just do

Code:

NameOfYourDialogClass dlg;
dlg.DoModal();

To show it.

There's a similar function for creating a dialog from a resource, but I don't remember what it's named or how you use it (I've never actually used it). Though it will require your own window proc; MFC does not.
