i like my example. i think people take
mfc for advantage and use it too much.
please vote for me. i need to win
something ;]

Pls donnot take it as offence. I am
really new to win 32
programming.
sorry if my comment
hurts. I dont mean to hurt u. I just
want to learn.
certainly the code
is good. But Is this code the similer
that we find in win95 programming by
charls petzold.
I will love to learn
how it differs from that?
|
9/13/2000 11:38:49 PM:Mehdi Hanbali
well the way this code differs is by
the way i've made it shorter. (by the
way, thanks for the comment, in no way
am i offended) i took the effort to
look at the petzold book and found
similarities. if you would like me to
point out the differences and how it
would be used i'd be glad to. just give
me an email. thanks for the feed back.

I think MFC is lowsy, I like better the
clean Win32 Apps :-)

I totally agree with you Max. MFC is
messy. Besides code looks cooler. -=]

I'm very new to C++, in Visual C++ 6
Standard, that code gives me 2 errors.
What can i do to fix them?

Thanks for the code. I had no problems

You guys go right ahead and refuse to
use MFC. While you're fighting the
windows API, I'll be making money
because I used the tools that were
available that helped me get my app
done sooner and with more features that
users have come to expect from a
windows app.
Code like this (that
doesn't use MFC) has its place, but as
a replacement for a complete framework,
it's not viable nor conducive to rapid
development.
There are times when I
don't like MFC either, and there's a
lot of stuff they could have done
better, but avoiding it for the sake of
avoiding it is pure folly (unless you
have a framework with which to replace
it).
|
9/27/2000 1:50:19 PM:Ultimatum
All hail Win32 =) MFC/WFC has it place,
and developing dialog-based
applications isn't it. =) (Besides,
trying to script windows using MFC is
next to impossible.) I guarantee that
you'll come across many many many
people who will hate your guts because
they are hardcore AppWizard users that
bow to MFC =) I say, forget that.
Clean, smooth code, no need for
MFC40.DLL.
|
9/27/2000 6:51:13 PM:Mehdi Hanbali
Argue all you want for MFC. I don't
care because I don't and will not use
it. Understanding your code is more
important and what if you dont have
access to a compiler with MFC support.
Also code looks nicer when written
yourself, i'm sure most will agree.
|
10/6/2000 3:58:58 PM:John Simmons
Well duh Mehdi, if you're using a
compiler without MFC support, I guess
you're not gonna be able to use it
(much less *want* to use it). besides
that, you missed my point.
1) Pretty
code doesn't get the app done any
sooner. I personally take great pains
to format my code so that it's easy to
read, and it's sometimes heavily
commented, but that doesn't make the
app any better or worse (but it does
make it more easily
maintainable).
2) I understand the
code just fine. After years of using
MFC, I've grown accustomed to it and
know how to use it, and even more
importantly, how and when NOT to use
it.

10/6/2000 3:59:29 PM:John Simmons
- continued -
3) You can't rely
completely on MFC any more than you you
can completely rely on the Delphi or VB
visual tools to do the entire job.
Nothing replaces good old fashioned
get-yer-hands-dirty code jockeying, but
if there's a way to eliminate some of
the tedium of the job, I'll try it out
at least once. I value the appwizard
in VC++ because I can have a
well-stocked app running in as little
as 60 seconds. beyond that, every
requirement has a different set of
criteria to be addressed by the
programmer.
4) Don't get me wrong -
I don't much like the way MFC is
written, but nobody has given me
another tool to work with. Maybe what
we need is a team of really sharp
programs to come up with an alternative
framework that isn't choked with macros
and unrealistic inheritance
restrictions.
|
10/24/2000 5:06:59 PM:A tip for you beginners.
If you search in newsgroups
in
comp.os.ms-windows.programmer.win32
and sort the longest messages first
you can get many good samples and learn
a lot from it. The good thing with
WinApi programming is that a simple
copy and paste can make a program
compile. With MFC or other macro based
enviroment you can't.

Andla

that was response, not responce
|
12/3/2000 10:34:53 AM:elaias
In responce to Simmons: I agree with
you in part. In that mission critical
apps are easier to code in MFC than
straight C/API apps. But I disagree in
that VC++/MFC apps are a proper
substitution. Have you tried Borland's
C++ Builder Ent. Ed.? If it's RAD you
want, this is the environment for you.
No dialog-based apps, just full-on
click and drag of components onto your
Main MDI or SDI forms and _voila_, all
your GUI worries are over. Not to
mention that the VCL framework is much
more finely tuned than the MFC. I mean,
after all the classes are stripped
away, what are you left with? The
WinAPI! The point of this disagreement
isn't even logical. You guys are
comparing apples and applefritters. And
Simmons is also right that in the real
world, VC++ programmers make more money
than those who only employ the API. And
what's stopping a MFC programmer from
directly accessing the API anyway? I d
|
12/11/2000 1:25:37 PM:John Simmons
I wasn't saying that the Win API was a
bad thing, I'm just saying that
avoiding MFC for the sake of avoiding
MFC is a generally bad idea.
I
frequently use the Win API, but for
sheer speed of development (compared to
the WIN API), MFC wins hands down.
I
have no experience with BCB, but I am
no fan of click-n-drag program
construction (VB, Delphi, et al).
|
12/17/2000 10:22:05 AM:elaias
Simmons: I never said click-n-drag
"program" construction. I simply
mentioned that your "GUI" worries are
soon over. Every developer knows that
an application includes more than an
interface. I was a diehard VC fan for a
long time until I had the chance to
employ the BCB, and I can tell you that
application creation is much more a
precise art than the
compile/view/debug/compile/view process
that you are left guessing with in the
VC. With BCB, it's all-out WYSIWYG, and
this is merely broaching the topic of
GUI, not to mention it's sheer power to
create CORBA, COM, XML, or whatever
business solution you're seeking to
implement, applications. It's got it
all!!!
PS - Apps developed with BCB
tend to be substantially smaller and
faster than the same apps developed
with VC.

Those of you who want MFC mise as well
go look under VISUAL BASIC CAUSE if u
want rapid development then use a RAD
development software.

The code to create a window without Mfc
etc appears in many books and web
sites. The code is almost a line by
line copy of the ones that appear in
the books and other web sites. As to
the copyright statment - I think your
having a laugh!
|
11/10/2001 11:08:44 PM:Mehdi Hanbali
Well Ian, if you weren't so ignorant, I
never once mentioned I just made this
code up out of thin air. If you read,
I'm stating that this a windows
skeleton application. Tell me, how many
truely unique ways are there? As for
the copyright, if you had any mind to
realize, psc automatically does that
when you submit code.
|
1/21/2002 2:43:27 PM:eponk
this is a great code for beginner like
me. It's including what steps todo
first.
Anyway what's wrong with MFC
?
-- Cheers --
|
2/25/2002 12:43:40 PM:Dennis Koliris
No offence here either, but I wonder
why the most basic window creation
which can be found on ALL win32
tutorials on the internet won the
competition.
|
4/20/2002 10:41:37 AM:yan
it's right to say, I'm really love to
wrote in vc++. But, I'm really scare to
write with API. So, that's mean I have
no chance in it ? I'm a newbie, please
you are write more program like this to
me. Or somebody want to help me, send
to aan43@yahoo.com.

might be useful to some...ahem NEWBIES.
such as myself. I like that i found out
that it doesn't take tonnes of code to
make a window, but still...i'm not

MFC SUC*S...its obviously for lazy
programmers who want things done fast,
and not proper.
