VC++ Apps

Like in VB, do you have to send out DLL files or anything like that with VC++ apps?

No you don't have to because VC++ compiles all the needed files into one EXE. You will only need to distribute the MFC42.DLL (or some other version) if you choose to have it dinamically linked to your app.But that is no problem because almost everyone has it.

You can make programs which don't need any DLL.
Not even statically linked to your EXE. :rolleyes:

MFC is just an easier way to program, but it requires that DLL! Yuck!

Well least the nice thing about the MFC is that the dlls are more likely to be on the user's machine than VB runtimes. however Yonatan is correct, MFC (Microsoft Foundation Classes) makes some aspect of the language easier by creating their own Dll, and class wrappers to call the functions you might call anyways if you didnt use MFC.

Im not using MFC, im doing it in raw api.

Well in that case, since C++ is 100% native, you wont need to distribute any dlls, unless you make your own dlls or something.
