Quite honestly, I would not bother with MFC if you are new to it. Beside= s being a dogs breakfast, it is on the way out in favour of the .NET FCL libraries. If you do not want to delve into the complexities of .NET yet (understandable), then a *much* better option, IMHO, is to look at STL (standard template library). Just my opinion.

Take a look at "Special Edition Using Visual C++ 6" on the web. It's an online book/tutorial covering the basics and some advanced stuff for VC++= 6 using MFC. Also take a look at messages and subclassing, which is a vital key to all serious MFC programming. Here is one link about MFC and message handling/routing: I can also recommend the book "The MFC answer book" by Eugene Kain.
