All right, It''s come to this: I kinda want to learn MFC (you know, for level editors, etc.). Does anyone know of any good books I could check out? An in depth tutorial would be okay too, but I already know a very small bit of MFC, so this probably wouldn''t help too much. If you code it, they will come...

Two must-have books:

Programming Windows with MFC, Second Edition, by Jeff Prosise (Microsoft Press)

Learn Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 Now, by Chuck Sphar (Microsoft Press)

The second book sounds misleading, buts its all MFC and guides you through a simple paint editor.

=======================================
A man with no head is still a man.
A head with no man is plain freaky.

Also, don't forget to step through the MFC source code included with VC++ 6 with the debugger. It helps a lot especially placing little AfxMessageBox() tips and running the app to find out who called who and when I find the source code the best tutor since among many things it shows me how to use proper debugging facilities like TRACE0 and other macros.

Cheers,

Jerry

Inside Visual C++ is another very good MFC book.

I have The Revolutionary Guide to MFC by Blasczsak (it''s the red one) and I love it. Between that and codeguru.com I''m good to go. Am I the only one who prints out code snippets that are useful and tapes them into their books?

Thanks for all the replies. I''ll check some of these books out whenever I get a chance.

BTW, no, I don''t think I''ve ever done that, fel

I have bought one book concerning MFC, which is "Using Visual C++ 6" by Jon Bates and Tim Tompkins. I will not need another book on MFC in my life.. At the same time as you learn VC++ 6 you learn MFC. And this book is very easy to understand and is directed at beginners.
