Well, using the "thousands" word here is a little bit exaggerated. :)

I know many projects developed for years using cross-platform libraries, but never targeted other OS than Windows.
IMO, the most optimal approach is to write as much as possible cross-platform code...

@Ketanco
Have you created a Windows Console Project or is something else?

If the target OS is Windows, the best choice is Direct2D libray.
You can directly use Direct2D COM interfaces or, much easier, the MFC Support for Direct2D.

That's a very good reason.

If you really, really want to make an edit control with "no echo" it's not so much to sweat.

derive your own class from CEdit;
add a member variable for keeping the password and a public...

Here is an example that validates the password when the user pushes "OK" button:

void CSignInDlg::OnOK()
{
UpdateData();
CPasswordChecker password(m_strPassword);

"Blind" typing of password is used in some console aplications. If have a GUI, that may be frustrating for the user.

Instead, you can let the default behavior of the edit control with ES_PASSWORD...

Cool! Is this the joke of the month? I may be wrong also, of course. :)

...then of course, can use GDI, GDI+ or Direct2D to render the images you have got with C++ REST SDK.

As long as MFC is a C++ library, you can use C++ REST SDK to interact with web services in an MFC-based application (or other Windows native applications).

Probably, you are a VB programmer. :)
No problem, you may try start programming C++ as well.

In order to understand each other when talking about "overlapped", "popup" and so on, please have a look at these FAQs:

Who said that? A dialog is a window and each window can be visible or not.
To make a window visible call ShowWindow(SW_SHOW).
To hide a window call ShowWindow(SW_HIDE).

Here is the code:


class CTestGridView : public CView // not CCtrlView
{
CGridCtrl m_gridCtrl;
// ...
};

class CTestGridView : public CCtrlView

It crashes because neither CCtrlView nor...

An alternative to member functions is to use lambdas, introduced by C++11.
Example:

{

If your C++ compiler supports last C++ standards (C++11 and newer) features, you can write, for example, something like this:


class CFooWnd : public CWnd

As Arjay already suggested, I would like to advise: even in an MFC aplication, prefer STL containers over MFC collections whenever is possible. Since I said "do not use STL in MFC-based applications"...
