Visual Download
I need a Visual C++ download that supports MFC. I have looked on the internet and it said that Microsoft Visual C++ 6 supports it but when i look it up it just gives me a service pack.
Can someone give me a download link to a MVC++ that supports MFC? I am not totally sure if 6 does that and 6 doesn't even sound right because they usually give one by year.

Re: Visual Download
To my knowledge no free version of MSVC includes MFC.

Re: Visual Download
is there anything that does support MFC that is a basic C++ compiler?

Re: Visual Download
Not in a free download.
MFC is kept proprietary by Microsoft. Any of the paid versions will have it, but not the express, in any version.
You'll have to consider another framework, WTL, wxWidgets or Qt, maybe FLTK if you're studying/experimenting.
Many believe Qt to be quite superior.

Re: Visual Download
yea but with Qt you have to put Q in front of everything and it makes it seem hard because they added one letter :(

Re: Visual Download
I'm just trying to be a little funny xP i need to read a book or something on Qt. When i got Qt i was pretty surprised what it could do but unfortunately it didn't automatically put the code for for buttons for what it can do. :P

Re: Visual Download
true. QT doesn't autogenerate function bodies. But that is done by adding 1 line to the public slots (you don't need to use the 'connect' statement for this) and adding 1 line and 2 brackets for a empty body implementation. Maybe the autogenerate functionality will be added to QtQreator later on. But these things shouldn't be influencing your choice of language.

It isn't neccisarily influencing my choice of language more that it is influencing what i am using to make my programs.
