Q119591 How to Obtain Microsoft Support Files from Online Services
This migration kit is for the software developer who has a large body of
Windows code written in C. Except for your existing code, moving to C++ and
the Microsoft Foundation Class Library (MFC) looks attractive. You've heard
about the benefits of C++, and many developers are touting all the
professional features you get with MFC. Besides that, the bar keeps getting
higher with OLE and new versions of Windows to support, not to mention
multiplatform opportunities. But you have all that C code.
This migration kit shows you how to convert a C program for Windows to C++,
by using MFC. You can gain most of the benefits of C++ and MFC with a
minimum of pasting code into MFC classes and a minimum of C-to-C++
translation. The secret? An MFC function called CWnd::WindowProc, which was
designed precisely for this purpose.
The MFC Migration Toolkit is included with Visual C++ version 4.0. To
install, select "MFC Migration Kit" from the Visual C++ 4.0 Master Setup
or run <CDROM_drive>:\MFCKIT\DISK1\SETUP.EXE. For more information,
refer to the README file in the <CDROM_drive>:\MFCKIT\DISK1 directory.
