I recently asked this question which got me started in the right direction - at least for loading the MFC DLL and trying to show a dlg box. The problem is, the typical dialog box is horrible as a main window for an APP. It is quite simple for me to create a new exe project to do what I want, but the problem is that I have a DLL and t...

I created an SDI MFC app without the doc/view support. The MFC template gives me an app with a blank window (And a menu, etc) I want to show my CFormView object on that main window. (Based on a dlg made in the gui editor) How do I do that? CreateWindow and showwindow don't seem to be all that is needed. All the web pages I find see...

I am currently looking or a good productivity library for my MFC based application, with useful container classes, string algorithmus, threading classes, I/O classes and so on. The Qt API is very nice in my o...

This behaviour is causing me problems and I would prefer it if the control just put the cursor at the start (or end) of the text and didn't select anything. Is there a simple way to do this (e.g. a property of the cont...
I have an MFC application in C++ that uses std::string and std::wstring, and frequently casts from one to the other, and a whole lot of other nonsense.
