MFC and Win32
What are MFC and Win32?
MFC is a C++ library that is layered on the Win32 API. It provides similar functionality to Viewkit and Motif, but has a completely different API. Often, programmers will implement code in MFC, then occasionally drop down into the Win32 layer to handle special cases. This would be analogous to using Xlib or Xt directly. In addition to this functionality, MFC provides operating system and threading support.
