| MFC is nothing else than "(class) wrappers" for the win32api (win32 SDK).
This way using the most used win32api methods is easier and faster.
Secondly MFC uses a "Document/View" structure. This is called a framework. Before learning any framework one needs a decent understanding of c++ and OO.
MFC doesn't have a "int main()" indeed.
This is related to the framework (document/view architecture).
I.e. you need a Document to storre varaibles in it. You need a View to make things visible, etc.
Forget MFC I keep saying that. First C++ and OO. Then the serious work.
