Unfortunatly, it really floods your machine with mail. Typically, I subscribe when I'm if trouble (lot's of the time!) then unsubscribe when I get through the problem. > > > > >What exactly is Win32 and MFC? I believe Win32 refers to functions in the Windows API provided with most Windows heritage compilers, including MS. Lots of functions that you need to access operating system features, e.g., getting available disk space. The MFC comprises foundation classes for Windows development work. All sorts of C++ classes for creating windows, menus, dialogs, etc. Makes development of SIMPLE Widows programs very easy. > > >can someone tell me of a good book to learn Win32+MFC considering that I already know quite a bit of C++ already? Good references: Kruglinski, Inside Visual C++, MS Press Prosise, Programming Windows with MFC, MS Press Richter, Advanced Windows, MS Press With all due respect to the very fine GNU product, the MSVC++ product is really quite good too, IMHO.
