xSRTsect Posted October 1, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment
Kurapica Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My advice is to avoid MFC if you can. Link to comment
Loki Posted October 2, 2014 Share 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 MFC as a framework is old an outdated.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. Link to comment
xSRTsect Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 So in order to use Windows and controls you suggest the good old api oriented programming? Link to comment
Kurapica Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 How big is your project ? Can you use languages other than C++ ? Did you check Qt framework ? Link to comment
xSRTsect Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share 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++ Link to comment
Aguila Posted October 2, 2014 Share 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... Link to comment
