xSRTsect Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I was wondering what your suggestions would be for documentation on how to use MFC - the ideal deal would be from the basics to more complex stuff. But if this is not possible then whatever best documentation you can think of. Thanks for your kind and unconditional support, xSRTsect
Loki Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Agreed - taking shortcuts isnt always the best way. MFC as a framework is old an outdated. Either go with C/C++ or C#/some other .NET language. Only advantage of MFC is the Document/View framwork, but even then I'd think twice.
xSRTsect Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 So in order to use Windows and controls you suggest the good old api oriented programming?
Kurapica Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 How big is your project ? Can you use languages other than C++ ? Did you check Qt framework ?
xSRTsect Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 Qt framework is a waste of time and space as it is a library that includes support for a wide range of platforms that do not interest me. I am just seeking for the best way to code user interfaces with the less effort and I want to do this with c++
Aguila Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 If your gui is very simple: Win api directlyif your gui is not simple: http://wtl.sourceforge.net -> Scylla uses this if your gui is complex: qt simple as that...
Kurapica Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Check this : http://wiki.codeblocks.org/index.php?title=Comparison_of_wxSmith_features wxSmith could be your choice here.
xSRTsect Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 Perfect! It was something like this that I was looking for
