I was wondering since many people have said some negative things about using the MFC if its worth using or learning becasue it seems to be a big part of MSVC++. I've heard some say its better to learn the API instead. Any suggestions? Thanks

In my opinion, if you are going to use MFC, just use VB instead. They are both slower than API, and they both require runtimes. They both basically have the same capabilities. VB is a lot easier though. :p
There are probably some that will disagree, this is just my opinion though.
I am inclined to agree, in most situations where you would use MFC instead of API, you would probably be better off using VB to make the interface and if you need a C/C++ just make a few DLLs and call them from VB. There are times when you would be better off with MFC I am sure, perhaps if you needed some especially complex interface, but in general I think you're better off without it.
This topic should go into the C/C++ faq.
MFC is evil!!!!!! :eek:
Parksie has spoken.
Yep...check other threads on this topic for a lot more detail from me :)
