Hello, I have an MFC app which is wizard based. The App asks a user a variable number of questions which are then written to an INI file which is later encrypted when the user clicks Finish.

To do so, I have found useful ...

What is the cleanest way to recursively search for files using C++ and MFC? EDIT: Do any of these solutions offer the ability to use multiple filters through one pass? I guess with CFileFind I could filter on *.* and then write custom code to further filter into different file types. Does anything offer built-in multiple filters (ie. ...
I'd like the user to be able to edit the number of recent files shown in the File menu of my MFC application.
