Firstly, I want to have a clearly overall look at MFC, Win32API .

Is:

Win32API: The first layer between hardware and software in prog [ except assembly ]
MFC : A wrapper by Microsoft ? It helps us in design GUI and a lot of library for easier and faster programming.

My problem is : I want an easy coding in GUI, no need to write every code line in win32api so I need MFC right ? And somehow I can’t get MFC library works [ it costs me 1 day to find that CSocket is really buggy ] . So I intend to use another famous library like Boost .

To clear my question : I know about .Net and C#, but I love C++ so I really want a good way to combine GUI design and speed of C++ .

Is it good to design GUI in .Net and coding in C++, does it have any disadvantage compared to MFC+ C++ .

Thanks first 🙂

    Win32 is the C API to the Windows OS, not to hardware. Many of these functions ask the OS to manipulate hardware on your behalf.

    MFC is the original C++ “wrapper” to Win32. It’s fairly old now, so if you want “easy coding”, may I suggest you look at .NET instead.
