    Win32 API / MFC?

    I'm going to write a little article to explain how to save a windows region to a file and how to load it back in response to a thread here on the forums.
    However, I will explain it in the MFC way and in the plain Win32 API way.
    Should I do this in 2 articles or in 1?

    Trade Offs

    I would prefer one article, but I imagine most would prefer two.

    The trend I have seen is wthat Win32 programmers don't use MFC and MFC programmers can't grasp Win32.....

    So my 2 cents: Keep it seperate for the masses [although you might want to include both zip files of the code with each article].

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.

    My vote would be to show how to do it in Win32 and then to show how MFC abstracts it.
