Where can I find a reference which controls are in which version of MFC?

Question

Preferably with visual illustrations... MSDN just lists class-names and what I really want to see is which versions of MFC have nice modern functionality like dockable toobars, collapsible windows, and other graphical niceties.

Does such a 'visual catalog' exist? From MSDN it's not always clear even what each class does without a pretty picture.

Answer 1

I don't think there is a 'gallery' of MFC controls on MSDN.

The closest thing I can think of are the MFC samples included in Visual Studio. There should be a project like this one that shows all of the controls with examples of how to use them. The other samples in the MFC Feature Pack also have workable demos for docking windows, ribbons, etc.
