    I'm a beginner, but...

    I think that you'll need runtime files as in VB, which sucks. At least it was what I've read somewhere.

    It's very much cheating Anyway, in order to use MFC you basically need to know the ins and outs of programming with the API If you have VC++6 then WTL seems a much better alternative. Or, you can just make your own wrapper classes round window creation/management in about 20K of code (I put them in a DLL and it was 40KB as opposed to 1.4MB for MFC).

    Once you know how to program using the API but can't be bothered it's okay to use MFC if you really have to, but it can really slow your program down.
