    Mfc

    wat is MFC? is it a special class which we have to include in our normal C project or is our normal C project already involving MFC?

    another plus : i heard MFC can be used by C to create GUI, is this true?

    p.s. let me know if my questions are irrelevant to MFC

    No.

    MFC can only be used by WIN32 apps written in C++ (as classes are not available in C).

    In C you can use the WIN32 API. Create a WIN32 Application (not a WIN32 console application) with a winmain() instead of main() ect.

    MFC is a MS wrapper to make using WIN32 API 'easier'.

    In much the same way as VB can be used to make the GUI for C/C++ .dll's, I guess you could use MFC to build a GUI calling C functions, but why anyone in their right mind would dream of doing such a thing escapes me.

    In the way you mean though, no.
